It is so hard to condense the 70 and half years I had with my Mother, But I wanted to share a few thoughts. My earliest memories are visiting my mother’s grandmother and visiting her parents in Greenbelt and walking to the community theater to see Sleeping Beauty. My mother was always an involved parent. She kept our Girl Scout troop going because we were saving money to go to Washington DC. Our family trips in a station wagon with John and me always in the 3rd row seeing where we had been not where we were going and then trips in the motor home were legendary, at least in our minds.
When I became a mother, I realized how much of a positive example she set, even if she did not understand breast feeding and would tell me to just top them off. Mom and Dad would come to help whenever asked. Those motor home trips continued for the grandchildren.
When Mom moved to North Carolina she was only 12 hours away instead of 20 which made me happy. My family has wonderful memories of visiting her and seeing everything Mom found interesting.
I know my brothers and I were very fortunate to have her for a mother and will try to live our lives as she had guided us to live.
Goodbye Mom please hug Dad and John for me,
Love,
Judy
