I remember my mother’s joy at this time of Christmas. Though we lost our father in December 1959 when she was young, Christmas time became a great holiday for us as the years rolled on. Remembering you with love, Ma. Todd

It's been a month; a mere moment in 54 years of loving you. We fought the Christmas battle, against death and sorrow, and lost. But the war is won.
