My mother died on Tuesday, August 22, 1978. She was 42 years old. I was 17. Her funeral was on Friday, August 25th, and I started my Senior year in High School the following Monday, the 28th of August.

I just had my 44th Birthday, and it is so strange knowing I am older now than she was when she died.

This is a wonderful thread. Not a day goes by that I don't still think of her. She was a wonderful person, and would be 69 years old now if she were still alive today........

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven, Mom!
