My Mom

My mom was the heart and soul of my family. She lived for her children and grandchildren. I so wish my girls would have got to know her and love her. She passed away way too young. My oldest daughter was not quite 2 on that life changing evening. My mom loved her more in that short time than many kids are loved in a lifetime. It's so sad to me that Aubrey doesn't remember her. I miss her so much that sometimes my heart still aches for just one more hug. She's been gone so long yet I remember that day like it was yesterday still.

One of my favorite memories is of her taking me and all my friends toilet papering. We all loaded in the back of our pick up and off we went. She was so much fun and always quick to volunteer to drive me and my friends. She would even take us dragging main....LOVED HER THEN AND LOVE HER AND MISS HER NOW!!

I was so lucky to have her as my MOM!!
