Something You Should Know About
My mother passed away, on her own, in her own time, on Monday, July 1, 2013. She was 100 years old and lived to see all of the history of the 20th century and part of the 21st century.
She had numerous careers and experiences, my birth being just one small part of her adventures.
Her two grandsons and her 5 great-grandchildren will miss her terribly, as will I.
Her final year was spent in the excellent care of the Adventist Care Center Courtland, here in Orlando. They were the reason she was able to continue to her life comfortably and in a loving atmosphere. We all are tremendously grateful to the entire staff of caregivers and medical personnel there.
On a final note, this strong, outspoken, funny, and ironic woman made a difference in the lives of everyone who met her. She was the "wind beneath their wings."
I will always love you, Mother; you made me who I am today: strong, outspoken, funny and ironic. Thank you forever.
