As her daughter it is impossible to narrow down the memories of my mom. Some of my most recent, cherished and happy memories actually come from the last days she was able to talk and interact with me while at Cornerstone Hospice. She was very blunt and very accepting of her imminent passing and made sure everybody knew about the elephant in the room and was not afraid to talk about it. I would love to share those memories however I would like to protect the innocent-- those who she pranked or said things to that made them blush. Let's just say that when I asked her for a sign when she passed that she was okay she said she would send me a bird and when I asked her what type of bird she showed me her middle finger. That was 100% my mom and how she found humor no matter what and always found a way to make those around her laugh even if sometimes what we were laughing about was uncomfortable or something others may not find as funny. I will always miss her yet I know that the memories she leaves us and how much of an influence she was to all of us she will always be here with us and she will find some way to show us she is okay--even if it means some random person flips me off I will know that my mom somehow had something to do with it and it was not due to my bad driving or behavior that caused that person to give me such a gesture. My children and I will always cherish the last photo taken of the four of us on Thanksgiving before she got sick. I have "modified" it as not to offend but here it is-- I hope it gives you the giggles and if it offends you--you are clearly on the wrong memorial page cause momma didn't hang with easily offended and she would be quick to tell you if ya don't like it you can stick it. RIP momma and enjoy those bi-plane rides with daddy. I love you to the moon and back and always will.
