Thoughts and Prayers to You and the Family for Your loss.
Quite a life She lived.
Thank You for sharing this with Us.
PING
God bless you marktwain.
I lost my Mom in 2007. It’s a very hard thing to get through.
Our Parents Generation was amazing by today’s standards. I Pray that this Country can get back to that way of Life.
Hang in there Sir, You have many FRiends here.
“I am glad to say that my mother was very happy that I had come back, just two years before she died.”
How this must have lightened her heart!
It is not easy writing such a tribute to your mother as in the process, to some degree, you must quantify the unquantifiable.
May the Angels keep her.
Fitting, and well written tribute of your mother. It reminded me of my parents. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Thanks, and God bless
What a beautiful tribute to your mother. You are all very blessed to have had her.
What an amazing tribute! Thank you for posting this!
What a lovely story. Your mom was beautiful. My condolences - and God bless.
A beautiful tribute.
As I read, I realized I know so little about MY parents and there's no one left to ask questions.
I moving tribute to Americans of the America I knew.
(albeit a city guy of '48)
Lovely.
My condolences
Glad to see that her red hair shows up vividly in their wedding picture. Thank you for sharing this tribute. God bless.
Beautiful pictures. May your mother rest in God’s arms.
My condolances for your personal loss
My accolades for the inheritance she has provided to you and your siblings.
Prayers up... RIP
Your mother and father lived a beautiful life, and worked hard to make it so. What a blessing to have witnessed their trajectories. Thank you for sharing their quintessentially American story from a time and way of life now all but outlawed. My deepest condolences in your loss.
May her memory be eternal.
It is not in the well educated, the rich, the politician, the performers in where greatness is found.
Rather, greatness is found in the people like your mother and father, who honored their vows and raised wonderful children like yourself.
Herein is true greatness, and had you not written the story of her life, we would be less inspired today, being unaware of how she and your dad lived their lives.
Long life was their earthly reward, and eternal life their heavenly reward.
They accomplished more in their lives than many famous people.
You honor them by remembering, and by doing likewise.
Thank for sharing her story with us.
Thank you for posting your memories. You had a wonderful mother who lived a long and good life. It was a blessing that you were able to care for her.
I have had that honor as well, with caring for my dad for the last two years of his life, and my mom continues living with me, now for 9 years. It’s not easy, to say the least, but it’s well worth it. I will never regret it.
May the Lord bless you and comfort you in your grief.
