L-R My daughter Charlotte, Mom and my daughter Yvonne |
Like so many friends and family we all know, she was taken from us far too early.
Who is this person, why
am I writing about her, she was/is my mother. I have never spoken about her in
any of my blogs, I guess there was no need, when I spoke of my parents, it was
my dad and my step mom.
So why today, mom would
have been 92 years old today, so maybe it's about time, she has been gone for 34
years and my dad for almost 2 years.
Mom's Family L-R Back Bob, Helen,Tom, Mom, Ken Middle Donna, Father & Mother Ruth Front - Carol |
Before I was born, she
was a Bell Canada operator, then a house wife and mother until she returned to
work at a customs clearing house, Border
Brokers, in Stratford. Mom loved her family, children and grandchildren, she
collected swans and was a great sewer, making many dresses and doing
alterations for a bridal shop in Stratford.
So today without fan fare, Happy Birthday Mom, you are missed
and loved.
