Sorry George, she was an amazing person. Best to you and the familey

5 years ago you left us all in this earth, Mom, and you left a void that will never be filled. You added so much to this world, and to our lives, for which I'll always be grateful. Me and my siblings are gathering today to honor you. We love you. Stop by and visit!

Where did she go? Standing on the front porch, I see her wisteria reach to pierce the intangible blue of sky. I look around and close my eyes and inhale the sweet scent of her fast-fading violets. The West Wind falters before it shores up through her liquidambar tree with a sigh. As the sun sinks behind the trees, birds twitter in the encroaching shadows of twilight. Where did she go? Entering the quietude of her house, I see shadows advance on the golden flecks of her bare kitchen...

Hearing all the christmas classical piano is just not the same without you. I'll always have the memories of you playing christmas carols on your piano for us.

Happy Days Mom. I love you, I miss you. The holidays will never be the same without you. No days will ever be the same without you. No days will ever come close to being as good as when you were here. I wake in the early morning, still half asleep, and have a vision in my mind's eye that I'll be able to talk with you today. Then when I fully awake and realize you're gone, and I won't ever talk with you again, my day is just askew. There's no getting around it, there's no psycho babble...

Grandson Christopher Brady’s birthday, cancer didn’t stop her from bringing the cake to the bowling party. So strong, rarely expressing her struggles. Daughter Brenda, Terry Lenhardt, (Marcy’s husband).

A powerful union, George took excellent care of our mother, especially difficult caretaker since her cancer diagnosis in the autumn of 2017....may he find healing and solace in the memories and in the nurture and caring for their 4 pets, Annie, Teddy, Prudence & Joanne, as I found healing in caring for our late sister’s, Allison, cats.

Good times with family in Tahoe, 1990, George, Brenda & Holly, Marcy, family friend, Karen, Sally & Allison ♥

With her 2 of 4 of her current, dear pets, Teddy & Prudence, 2019
