My mom was an amazing woman. She raised all six of us almost single handidly, as Dad was always working (its not cheap raising 6 brats.) We lost her right after Mothers Day in 1997. She was a mere 58 years old. I remember going to her house after she passed away and seeing the house dress I got her for Mothers' Day, sitting there unused with the tags still hanging off. She never got a chance to wear it. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, or speak to her. I miss her terribly and want to thank her for the following:
- For being a power of example for me.
- For teaching me the real meaning of family.
- For loving each and every one of us kids, unconditionally
- For passing on your amazing cooking skills/recipes
- For teaching me how to be a responsible adult. I didn't always do it but I KNEW HOW BECAUSE OF YOU
- For trying to get me to quit drinking. I appreciate the effort, but it wasn't going to happen till I was ready.
- For still being there for me every day, I feel you here with us-I truly do
- For being a kick ass lady-I'm pretty sure that's where I got my spunkiness, hehe
- For the humor you saw in everything. That may just be the best gift you ever gave me.
I hope you all had a great Mothers Day! QUEEN.....OUT

The fact that you feel her with you every day is the greatest tribute.
Moms really do stick around long after they are gone..
You were blessed with a wonderful mother!!! Hope your day was good as well.
A great tribute to your mother. I'm sorry that she died so young. She sounds like she was a wonderful mother to you.
I miss her to. Great woman
