RIP mum.  Mum died thirteen years ago, I miss her still.  She had a wonderful sense of humour and believed very strongly that a good walk, fresh air, and a hot bath could do wonders for your health and general sense of well being.  She wasn't wrong.

  2. She is beautiful with a lovely smile. We never stop missing our parents. My dad was the one with the sense of humor and mom was a problem solver. I was very close to both of them.

  4. She looks friendly, strong, and sensible in that photo. Like a young Princess Elizabeth back in the day.

  7. I still miss my mom after 20 years and suspect that will never change. It's like a real adjustment never gets made, doesnt it. -Kate

  13. I admire your mother's fashion sense and in her honour I think that you should sometimes dress in the very same manner. She had a nice face.
