On Sunday afternoon, January 4, 2009 Wayne's sweet mother passed on to the next life. She was 95 years old and wasn't doing much but sleeping for quite some time. She lived a full and busy life for most of her years on this earth. Nobody has ever cooked more, cleaned more, gardened more, or anything else more than this strong woman who raised 9 children in much harder times than we have raised our children in - at least in the physical aspects of life! We took a trip up to visit last September knowing that it would probably be the last time we would see her in this life... and we were right and so happy that we went! She must be rejoicing as she is reunited with her parents and brothers and sisters who had all passed on before her. We tried very hard to find a flight to be in attendance at her memorial but we were not successful. We hope the family understands that it doesn't mean we don't care ... our love for her runs deep. I have never met a man who held more honor for his parents than Wayne. He always told me he had to live his life in a way that would please his parents. We may have lived miles away, but the love is always there. His father and my father live on .. we know not for how long, but we appreciate every day we have with them. Our prayers are with Wayne's father and his brothers and sisters at his time. Tomorrow, January 8, 2009 at 11 a.m. a wonderful mother, wife, daughter and child of God will be honored and remembered for her wonderful earthly life. We love you Mother.
