Mom's memorial...

April 2011~our beloved mother and grandmother passed away unexpectedly. For her memorial all the children (6 of us) were able to gather together in Virginia in May 2011. Brothers from California and Arizona flew in, daughter from Kentucky arrived and we drove/flew to Virginia for the exteneded weekend. Mom would have LOVED to have been there sharing stories and memories. It was a good time to reflect and reconnect with those we hadn't seen in such a long time. You will never be forgotten mom, we love and miss you very much!
