I have so many memories of Mom, it hard to choose one.
There was the one we were fishing up in Canada at Killarney at some old fishing camp. We were fishing across Georgian Bay, I still remember we all got half across when a severe thunderstorm caught us. Dee a smart boater knew we were in some trouble, he told us to put our life vests back on and mom to go the front of the bass boat and me to lay on floor.Dee was driving our small boat on the troughs of the huge rolling waves 8 to 12 foot over the boat. Mom was screaming and crying as each wave crested overhead and we crested to ride back into the troughs again. Dee got us all back soaked like rats escaping a sinking ship.
My mom was a beautiful and sweet woman. I will miss her and me drinking coffee and talking about her family history. Watching bad horror movies and eating popcorn.
Talking recipes and food for dinner.
I think she happy in Heaven now reunited with her family, friends and of her dogs and cats.
Will always love her, Tami Rhoads
