But there is something that means much more to me than these motherly acts and things of toughness that I ahve menti0ned.

Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in 1991.

  Mom was always our biggest fan, and so she was at all of Anne and Jim's 4-H square dance competitions even though they were only on the "B" squad, and at the ceremony at Lorett

   This beautiful birth announcement 90+ years old is a wonderful way to start our train ride.

Over the next few days I am going to post in parts the eulogy given for Mom at her Vigil.
