Lost Mom one week before I met Florence, often wondered whethere she and Dad had anything to do with our meeting, Heart attack and she asked for no heroic neasures and so the second attack snt her to her rest two months shy of her 91st birthday. The solo picture was taken around the time sh and Dad married. The other was as they were standing in the garden of the house where I was born. Dad passed on in 1962 days shy of his 81st birthday.

Hiya Rob. Your Mom looks quite the confident lady.

Sounds like your mom didn't want you to be alone and sad. She made sure someone was there to help you though the pain. Funny thing about life we don't know true bliss without true pain they have to go hand in hand.

My mother died in 1967, and my old man crapped out in 1958.

So I've had plenty of time to get over it.
