MISS YOU MOM

My beautiful Mother, Wanda and My handsome Father, Frank on their wedding day
Doesn't she have such a pretty face?

Here she is in 1956


Mom with Jaden, her greatgrandson


Here she is on at her 82nd birthday party in 2005 with her friend for over 65 years, Hilma

Here she is standing in my front yard while she was here with one of her grandsons Josh.
She was so happy he surprised her by coming all the way from Portland to see her and his sisters and me of course!

This was taken in my dinning room in Oregon October 2007 and in February 2008 she got sick with a cold and the flu and she was gone within 5 days. It is hard to realize it happened so suddenly. She was in perfect health and this visit was a fun one. She loved to eat and we had fruit and breakfast sandwhiches but I remember we ate ice cream and crepes and popcorn during the time she was visiting from Idaho. It was so fun and such a blessing that my nieces, Mandy and Cassidy brought her over to see me and my new house here in Coos Bay.

She loved her family more than anything and we love her right back.
We miss you Mom.
