Mom was 92 in June of this year. Until this year, she retained all her faculties and even now is physically strong. She taught sixth grade for decades, teaching thousands of kids to love books. She used to read to them from several favorite books. When she had to take up residence at an assisted living residency, she continued to read to fellow residents who just loved it! If any of her past students from Fairfax or Arlington, Virgina read this, they will remeber whom it was that read The Secret Garden to them.
You must be so proud. She sure sounds like a special lady.
