HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Memories of My Beautiful Mother~~~~

My dear sweet mother passed away 25 years ago this November. Not a day has gone by that I don’t think of her and miss her.
She had a heart of gold! Such a sweet and gentle soul. She filled my life with happiness each and every day. I learned so many wonderful things from her! Please feel free to click on the pics to see a larger version!

Above is Mom’s pretty peach cameo she gave to me when I got my first job in Philadelphia.

Below is Mom in 1978. She always looked so pretty!

Mom and Dad's wedding picture. Her and my father got married in 1941 just before he left for WW 2. I wanted to share with you some of her pictures, she had such a beautiful sense of style as you can see from these pics. She always wore a hat gloves and beautiful shoes. I guess that is where I get my love of clothes!

She used to send my father these beautiful pics while he was away at war.

Mom decorated store front windows in Philadelphia during the war and again in Florida after the war. She always decorated our home beautifully. No matter where we lived, my father being in the Air Force we moved a lot, she always made our house a cozy little home. I guess that’s where I get my decorating from!

A few things she always told my sister and I~~~~

1.Live by the golden rule.
2.If you don’t have something nice to say then don’t say anything
3.Never judge anyone because you don’t know what made them that way.

Mom with her two nephews.

She and my fathers sister were the best of friends and they were always together while their husbands were at war. They were just beautiful, weren’t they? Aunt Jeans (on left) husband did not make it home from the war, he was in the Navy and was buried at sea. My Aunt raised her three children by herself. She was a wonderful person to, I loved her dearly.

Here' my Mom and my Aunt Jean years later in1972 with my daughter Jennifer.

After the war my father was stationed in Florida, Mom always said it was like a paradise for them, they had a little one room apartment close to the beach and were as happy as can be. Just the two of them.

Mom and Dad were married 43 years when she passed away. Dad passed away five years after her. He was a lost soul without her.

These are some books that I enjoy looking through every Mother's Day. I set them out on the table in my upstairs sitting room.

Well I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane with me! I wish you all a wonderful Mothers Day.

Blessings! Shirl
