Aileen Margaret Hayward was my mother, but she was also my best friend. We spent a lot of time together, and it was only after my rebellious teenage years that I appreciated what a wonderful mother, and person, she truly was.
Her life wasn't easy, having lost both her parents tragically when she was in her teens, and then raising her 5 brothers and sisters after her grandmother died a few years later. Her grandfather also
lived with us for 16 years, until his death at 84 years of age. More about her life is told on the Memoirs page.
