Actually that title should read, “my mom and dad”….. i don’t really separate them into two beings, rather think of them as a pair. Dad has been gone for 3 decades.
Mom was nothing short of “unique” in all ways. I honor her willingness and ability to care and nurture her children, parents, and others who entered her life. One can say, too, that she did so with an interesting approach.
Here are two links, one to the graveside service and the other to the church service. Both are long, many people had lots to say but the theme was always the same–she never abandoned anyone, even those who took advantage of her. Her values were traditional and her approach often barbed. She taught us integrity.
And my sweet grandaughter Corin has given me a great memory of that service (which she attended)…. an angel zombie with one eye….a picture which was drawn for the occasion (along with a few other zombies)… she was almost 7 at the time. I added the stars on the flight back to Cincinnati, then vectorized it. Mom would have loved it. I think my mom was an angel for many.
