Oh, I am so sorry. Wow, what an amazing gift your Mother was. I can see her love and spirit shining through in every photo (and every project). She seemed truly happy with her wonderfully long life.

Thoughts with you, and remember, our family is always with us.

Thank you for sharing beautiful photos of your mom. She looks so happy on all of them and that's what's important to remember - she lived a long and happy life and may all of you be just as happy as she was.

"Never one to sit when there was food to be prepared." As grandpa said, "Otherwise, she would not be grandma"

Nice set of family pictures.

The wood face stick is in the care of my son - who has a bit of an informal collection of such things!!
