Mom's Book

Mom passed away on August the 10th, 1999. We will sorely miss her. Her spirit was an undying flame and it will live on in her descendents. I am so sorry that she was unable to actually view her website on the internet, but I did get it printed out and put into a book which I gave her for Mother's Day. It was her constant companion until the day she died, and she loved being able to tell people that she was on the internet. In her usual fashion of being a "leader in new things", she carried on until the end....with her obituary proudly announcing to the world to view a more detailed story of her life on HER website (an idea which was a stroke of genius by her granddaughter, Colleen). The newspaper had never seen such a request before--a trailblazer to the end. I have added a few pages to Mom's Book, pages which are a memorial to our mother. I know that if Mom could see them, she would love them. I am putting them up partly as a "comfort zone" for myself and my daughter, Cheryl, but also partly because of a promise I made to Mom that I would not let her grandchildren and great-grandchildren ever forget her.

As a little aside, after her funeral, Arthur gave me back the copy of Mom's Book that I had given to Mom. Today I opened the book and started leafing through it. My mother, always the perfectionist, had gone through the book correcting my typing mistakes, and any dates and things that she noticed were wrong. I feel obligated now to re-open her website and add these corrections to the internet site. With Mom now in "cyberspace" herself, I think I had better get the site shipshape as quickly as I can. She now could possibly have far more devasting ways of bringing me into line than she ever had before.

I love you, Mom.
