Her angelic face always looked like home to me. My whole life, as soon as I'd see my mother's face I'd know I was safe, whether I was a little girl lost in a department store or a big girl with a problem, who needed her mother.
Thanks to the doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and mother's fighting Kentucky spirit, we got to see that face much longer than anyone ever expected.

You’ve done your mother proud Ann. And I am sure she lovely your eulogy.

The longest baby ever born at the Albany, N.Y., hospital, at least as of May 5, 1926, who grew up to be my strapping father, passed away last Friday morning.
As Mother and I stood at Daddy's casket Monday morning, Mother repeated his joke to him, which he said on every wedding anniversary until a few years ago when Lewy bodies dementia prevented him from saying much at all: "54 years, married to the wrong woman." And we laughed.
John Vincent Coulter was of the old school, a man of few words, the un-Oprah, no crying or wearing your heart on your sleeve, and reacting to moments of great sentiment with a joke. Or as we used to call them: men...-- snip --
...One day, a group of FBI agents saw the beautiful Nell Husbands Martin at lunch with her mother. They asked the waitress for her name and flipped a coin to see who could ask her out first. Father lost the coin toss, so he paid off the other agents.
And that's how Nell became my mother. - Ann Coulter
For those of you who wondered what kind of steel Ann Coulter is formed from, and how it was forged -
It was with love, and a timeless treasure that transcends boundaries and imagination.
Your mother did well, Ann. As did your father, and that procession of ancestors stretching into the dimness of time.
Thank you so much for sharing the story of your Mother, Nell, with all of us. What a beautiful eulogy. Sending you my sincere condolences and prayers. God Bless the Coulter family.
Condolences to you and your family, Ms. Coulter. You are a jewel, and obviously, so was your mother.
I can only imagine how proud she must have been of her daughter. I can SEE how proud her daughter was of her.
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful mother.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Ann.
What a wondeful and loving tribute. The Coulters are a family of true patriots.
Oh no. Prayers for Coulter’s family and friends.
I have absolutely no words to offer to Ann or her family that will make this better. All I can offer is prayer.
Nell Coulter will be missed. I obviously did not know her, but anyone who raised a daughter such as Ann has to be one of the most wonderful people in the world—and Ann’s eulogy showed that.
Ann,
It doesn’t surprise me that you had such a wonderful mother and a strong, patriotic family. You are strong because of them, and, thank God, that they blessed the world with their wonderful, brilliant, talented daughter!
I get down on my knees and thank God for this great country and people like you who give so much of your life to fight for all patriots!
Thank you, Ann, and your mother and father, I assure you, had quite a wonderful and exciting life having you for a daughter.
I was glad when I saw the byline, but saddened when I understood the import of the title.When my own mother passed on, these 5 years ago, I noted to my aunt that I had spoken some little while at her funeral:
And I told how I had reacted in the Florist shop when the florist asked if we wanted a banner to say something like "Beloved Mother." And at that moment I knew that I only wanted the single word, "Mother." Because you really can't add to that with other words. (Any more, I recalled later, than you can add to "unique" by saying "extremely unique" - "extremely" makes a relative term like "hot" stronger, but "extremely unique" actually indicates that you don't mean absolutely unique). So adding a modifier to "Mother" is less than the single word itself.I pity anyone who wouldn't understand that. Clearly Ann Coulter would never be numbered among them.You can't say more than "Mother."
A beautiful tribute. Prayers for Anne and her brothers.
May your mother enjoy the glory of heaven forever in the loving arms of Almighty God, and may He comfort you and your brothers, and all those who loved your mother, in your loss.
What a beautiful memorial to her mother. I would have loved to meet such a woman.
May God bless the entire Coulter family and may they be comforted in this time of grief.
Ann wrote a very touching tribute - her Mother was obviously a great lady and her influence is evident in Ann’s life and her writings. I’m sure Ann’s mother and father were/are very proud of her.
They sound so similar....
May Heavenly Father pour out His greatest blessings upon you and your family. I miss my mother even today, after so many years. Know that you are loved by many, and we share your sadness and sorrow. The day will come when we are all together again, never to feel sorrow any more.
Love you Ann,
Yellow Roses
Prayers for you and your brothers.I’m so very sorry for your loss.
She bore and raised you and that's the greatest honor anyone could bestow on her. You will meet her again one day. God willing.
