It's been 4 years since my mother passed, June 2, 2020 and I still think of her and my father daily with love. Over the past few years, a tree was planted in their memories at Delnor Woods in St Charles and on the walking trail behind the Oak Brook Park District. This year we will be planting a Magnolia Tree in our backyard. All planted with deep gratitude and love.

My mother was special and loving in so many ways. She provided us with a roof over our head, food in our bellies and so much more. She was a great cook and I will always love her chicken and dumpling soup. Some of my fondest memories of her are when we used to go on shopping trips as a child. She would even let me pick up some of the groceries for her and then I got to keep the change. She always told me to use it on myself and I would go to Ben Franklin to get gum.

One thing grandma always said was that she was going to live to be 111. I don't know where that number came from but it was her number. She had been on hospice the last two years and it sure felt like she was fighting for that 111 mark. While that didn't happen, she made it well into her 90s and lived an amazing life. From her story of immigration to falling in love with a ballroom dancer like herself, to marrying her love who was a funeral director, to end up styling the deceased hair as...
