Hi Honey,
What a beautiful memory of Mom. She would be so thrilled. One memory of her that has ALWAYS been with me since she died is of one day I was at their house before she died. Because I worked all the time I spent time there with her and Dad but I never did a lot of work there other than visiting. I was actually cleaning out her fridge. She was very sick that day from the dementia. You know some days she was almost normal and other days she was awfully bad. Anyway, this one day she sat at the
What a beautiful memory of Mom. She would be so thrilled. One memory of her that has ALWAYS been with me since she died is of one day I was at their house before she died. Because I worked all the time I spent time there with her and Dad but I never did a lot of work there other than visiting. I was actually cleaning out her fridge. She was very sick that day from the dementia. You know some days she was almost normal and other days she was awfully bad. Anyway, this one day she sat at the
table and watched me as I cleaned the fridge. After a time she said "Joni, did I ever help you when I was younger". I said ALL THE TIME MOM. They painted, they papered they cleaned, Dad remodeled. Dad fixed. I'll never forget, Dad had to come and worked under our sink in the kitchen one day. Finally the leak was gone and so was Dad. After he left, John, at his young age came to me and said, "Mom, and Grandpa didn't cuss once". Sure wish Chuey could of met Mom and Dad. Gotta go but just had to tell you how sweet that was. On the second annv. of Dads death, Dec. 27th, I'm putting in a memorium of Mom and Dad. their Births and Deaths. I have a special picture of them I'm looking for. I will sign all us girls names and at the end put and families. I am going to put the saying, DEATH IS A SCAR NO ONE CAN HEAL, lOVE IS A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL. Can you think of any other saying that would be better?? Id love suggestions. By for now Love You Joni

OMG! This made me cry!! Everytime I think about them I choke up. One major life regret for me was not being there when they passed. They did sooo much for all of us and kept us a 'family'. They never judged but gave their unconditional love freely. I'll never forget the year we brought Packrat and tribe to Christmas- and grandma was all smiles, open arms and sweet Christian spirit. As an adult looking back at that situation-with that one night- she more than earned her spot in heaven. God bless their beautiful souls-and thanks be given for having such profound and beautiful people in our lives!
