My Mom

Uploaded: January 21, 2012

Description

My mom Christmas eve. She loved buutterflies, the color purple and kangaroo's. She always slept with the little one. I bought if for her at the zoo a few years ago. I have it near her picture now. She had alzheimer's for the past 4 yrs. She was always so happy no matter what happened. She always had nice things to say to anyone she meet. She was taken off of life support on Jan 13.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it's like, I lost my Mum, last Sept 2 months before her 100th birthday. She was involved in arranging her party & still wanted everyone to have the party even though she knew she wasn't going to be there. #10013036
