In Loving Memory of my Mom, Joanne...

It's been 32 years ago today that my Mom passed away from cancer at the age of 44.

Mom,

You were my compadre, best friend and most of all the best Mom in the whole wide world. I miss you so very much. I can't believe it's been 32 years and the ache in my heart is still there.

Give Dad hugs and kisses for me. Tell him to quit teasing Tigger (the cat) and I'll see you when it's time.

Love you always and forever,

Donna

That must have been hard losing your mom at an early age, I was 39 and it was still really hard. I am glad you have so many good memories of her, my mom had a great sense of humor and when I hear a good joke I still almost pick up the phone to call her and it has been 6 years.

It has to be so hard to relive this day each year.

I'm sure she was wonderful, just like you are.

Love ya,
Kelly

God knew what he was doing when he made Mothers. Mine died in 99 at the age of 81, next month is her birthday and I never think about her without smiling. My Mom was not you ordinary Stay at home Mom, that baked cookies and waxed floors. She worked all her life and raise hell the whole way and enjoyed every minute of it. When she found out she had cancer, her response was "Well, I am ready to go, I have had a GOOD life!"

Someone here has in their siggy about living life hard and going to the grave, slidding in, in a wore out body?? Know that one I'm talking about?.. Sounds just like my Mom's attitude about life.

Donna, I feel your pain. My mom just passed on June 18th, 11 days after my back surgery. It kills me that she'll never (on earth) see me well and virtually pain free one day (I hope). She also was my best bud. I home cared her for a year. I miss the days of shopping and going out for lunch and yakking away. I feel so empty and alone. I can't imagine the feeling ever going away. In my family, we never went to bed without a hug, kiss and I love you. I inscripted "Wind Beneath Our Wings" on her stone. I'm sending you lots of hugs.
