My Wonderful Mother

(picture out of order not sure if worth putting in had it in the right spot got deleted and not sure how to put it where it's suppose to go. It's a picture of Emeline and Tyler at cemetary)

I've been wanting to make a post on my mom for awhile now, but have needed to get copies of photos since the pictures I took didn't turn out very well so that is why this is a bit late. As many of you know my mom passed away on January 12th after a 5 1/2 battle with non smoking lung cancer. These are just a few pictures I selected there are many other great pictures I don't have copies of them yet though. The above picture is of a display that was at her funeral if you can't read what the frame says it says "Sorry I can't be there I'm swinging on a star please help yourself to a candy bar." hence the basket of candy on the left. It is a display we also had at my grandma's funeral my mom and grandma always had some kind of candy in their purse and loved getting loads of candy after Christmas, Easter and Halloween not that they ate it all, but they loved a good deal.

My mom was only 52 years old when she passed away too young to have her life end. We are all so grateful that we had 5 1/2 years with her a miracle in and of itself. I'm so grateful that my mom was willing and able to fight after so many years something I'm not sure I'd be able to handle though I might think differently if I was in the situation. She has always been a great example to me. I can't imagine living the rest of my life without her especially since I am only 30. However I'm grateful for the plan of salvation that allows us to be an eternal family. My mom still lives and I know that she will still play a major part in my life. I'm so grateful to know that I will be able to see her again.

35 out of 37 grandchildren attended the funeral. It's sad that a funeral has to bring us together. Many cousins I hardly ever get to see since we live in various places.

Family at the burial

My mom is buried at the feet of my grandma and her little brother Mark. My grandma died 7 years ago of the same disease fighting it just as long as my mom did. Mark drowned when he was 2 1/2 in neighbors pool.
