This is from our cruise/Disneyworld trip back in 1993 or 94, I don't remember. My Mom is holding crutches because she broke her leg. I remember we all would use her to get in the front of the lines at Disneyworld and she would go along with it without complaining. She never minded taking one for the team.
I want to say this picture is from one of our trips to Sun Valley but I could be way off. She loved traveling with her family. She always made everything fun.
Some of my most vivid memories of my Mom come from when she was around her best friend, Debbie Tyler. Things became strange when they were together. I remember how much they would laugh around each other. It was pure entertainment.
This was from Mother's Day last year. Her last Mother's Day. Even though we were all thinking of how it might be her last, we all still had so much fun because of her. I love you Mom! I miss you so much every day. Happy Mother's Day!

I LOVED the pictures. Some I have never seen.
I am so grateful for the relationship we all had with her. Each one was different but just as strong. She made each of us feel important, loved, successful, and HAPPY. She truly was our BEST friend.
I am a bit confused today. What are we supposed to do to honor her?? How do we enjoy MOTHER'S day without our MOM??? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Hopefully, she will be close today.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
Josh, I remember calling your mom and having her tell me you were sleeping right beside her. She loved that you were so near watching over her. Like Dawn, I believe she will be close today.
I think we all are a little confused today. I just want to go away until the day is over, yet I want to remember her and celebrate her and honor her. I miss her more everyday. My heart continues to feel broken. But I love to remember her as our true "mom". That makes me smile, giggle, and laugh. She was the best. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
I have taken the day to feel truly grateful that we were blessed enough to have her. We didn't just know her, we were loved by her. How lucky we are.
I can't wait to come see you. You are a lot like mom, more than any of us and I can't wait to get a little hit of mom from you.
Love you Joshie!!
We are all thinking of you all today. What a nice tribute to your wonderful mom.
I'm glad that you were able to reflect on the happy times. I think too often for me, the wonderful times with my mom get swallowed up by the memory of her tragic death. I think that somehow we need let ourselves feel both. I'll always remember how sweet and attentive your mom was to us at the family reunion at your house after my mom died. It meant so much to me. Your whole family honors her everyday in the people that you are.
I hope you and your family were able to have some comfort and peace on your first mother's day without your sweet mom. I also hope you were able to feel her close-I'm sure she was. I think about you guys all the time, I can't believe it's been almost a year. My thoughts and prayer are still with you.
Love,
Adrian
