My Mum

My Mum

Uploaded: March 30, 2007

Description

This is my Mum in 1945 with our little puppy Peter. Mum died on Tuesday night after two months in hospital. I know I will miss my mum all my life. It was so good to have her there to listen when I needed her.
I have been working on restoring this picture today which my Dad took.

I'm so sorry, Kate! I am crying as I read this, for as you know, my Mom died recently and her Memorial Service is coming up April 7 and I am working on that and on her estate, so I do have some idea what you're going through. What a nice job you've been doing restoring this! I also love some of the more recent pictures of your Mum! My heart and prayers go out to you! Mary XOX #4113411
