Happy Birthday Mom

Today, my beautiful mother would have been 71 years young, but she is spending it with our Heavenly Father and all of those that have been called home.   It doesn't seem like a little over 6 years since she's been gone and sometimes I still want to call her on the phone.

She was a wonderful role model and I wish I had appreciated her earlier than I did.  She always put herself last, could balance a checkbook and budget to the penny.  She gardened in the winter and sewed our clothes to save money.   She loved it when she and my dad moved to Wisconsin because it reminded her so much of Maine. 

She had a wonderful sense of humor and was friendly with everyone.  Even her best friend, Lynn Simon said "she could make a best friend in a grocery line."  

I love you and miss you Mom and thank you for the wonderful memories that will always be in my heart!
