Thanks Mom! For Everything!!!
<p>
Our Mom passed away on Monday, November 30th, while Jim and I were visiting.</p>
<p>
It was the worst day of my life...I had lost my mother and a true friend...<br />
I'd like to share my appreciation for her life because without her there would have been no me!</p>
<p>
<strong>Thanks Mom!</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Thanks Mom for instilling a love for reading, research, critical thinking and learning.</strong> She told me when I was quite young "you don't have to know everything, but you do have to know how to look everything up!" She apparently taught me how to Google - 50 years before there even was a Google!<br />

<strong>Thanks Mom for giving me an open mind, honesty, and a great sense of humour!</strong><br />
She used to tell us "if you don't do your English homework you will never get jokes!</p>
<p>
<strong>Thanks Mom for making us all those wonderful crazy clothes back in the 60's and 70's</strong>. I know I was a pain because I always wanted the most complicated patterns but you persevered and made beautiful work. I wish I had appreciated them more at the time. The Carnaby Street dresses you made for Janice and I were my favourites!</p>
<p>
<strong>Thanks Mom for letting me be there with you yesterday.</strong> I know you worked hard to maintain your independence. Now that the initial shock is beginning to clear I have a new appreciation for being here to help you on the final journey of your life.</p>
<p>
<strong>Thanks Mom! We miss you!<br />
XOXOXOX</strong></p>
