Mom would love telling us stories of her life during the Depression, and how she loved to jitterbug back in the '40s. Music and dancing were a part of her life, and she could still dance at 80! She was always laughing and smiling.
The laughter is gone now, but in our hearts, we know she will always be smiling with us.
Mom, We All Love and Miss You ~
Thanks for the "Memories!"
