I was very sorry to hear or Marys passing. I enjoyed working with her all those years. i would like to say a few words about my mommy... i think that lots of people say that they have the best parents in the world. and we as children should say that. if we didn't, then our parents did not raise us the right way. but my mother was not only my mother, she was my supporter, she was my inspiration, she was my protector, she was my teacher and she was my friend. i was so proud to have her as my mother. when she was diagnosed with emphysema about nine years ago, it was a shock, and we knew that this day would come, but we never talked about it and i know that we didn't want it to come this soon. my parents gave me so many things in my life. and i am not talking about material things. i am talking about the most important things, the things you can't see or touch, the things that make me who i am today. trust me, i could go on and on with all the things that make me who i am today and it would probably bore you, but the one thing that i have inherited from my mommy is her....mouth. we are the same: you know where you stand with us, nothing is sugarcoated, you get the truth, our words are not meant to hurt and sometimes a few colorful words are thrown in for the dramatic flair. this is what i got from my mommy and i am so appreciative and proud that i can say that i am very much like her in this way. i talked to her everyday, sometimes several times. and you know what that did for me.....it allowed me to tell her that i loved her and she told me that she loved me. so remember to tell the people you care about that you love them. thank you mommy for all you have done for me in my almost 49 years. i would have liked for you to have been here for a bunch more. but you are in a better place now, one that you have earned and truly deserve. i love you mommy. bobby XOXOXOXOX Jeanne, I just read the newspaper from last week, and learned about your family's loss. I was out of town or I would have tried to get over to the funeral home to see you and your family. I can't believe your childern are grown and married. Seems like yesterday we were all at Headstart. Thinking of you at this time, Michele ;
