My Mom!

Let me tell you a bit about her. She was a kind, loving person, who was willing to help anyone, anytime, she inherited that from her father Mons Dunham. I have read every message from all her friends and family, these make me so proud to call her “My Mom”…Wonderful Person, Genuine Heart & Smile, Welcoming & Kind, Fun Loving Person, Big Smile, Incredible Woman, Sweet Lady,  these are some of the comments. It warms my heart to think she was so well loved.

Here is one little memory that I will treasure for the rest of my life. After my Dad and Sister Paula passed away, my Mom and I made it a tradition every year that we would spend a day in the summer together, having lunch and a bit of shopping. And the other day we spent together was just before Christmas, again lunch and lots of shopping. We both looked forward to those days as we would have so much fun! We laughed, joked, sometimes made fools of ourselves and ate until we could not eat anymore, those two days were the best days ever! It was like we were sisters, and actually some people thought we were sister as my Mom never aged. I am going to miss those two outings with her so much. 

My Heart is Broken, but as long as my heart beats, she hasn’t left me, because Love Lasts! R.I.P. Mom, until we meet again. Love you Always. Kimberly XO
