With the first anniversary of mom's homegoing almost upon us,
it is natural that we should remember her at this time!
Mom was born August 17th, 1919
She died, slipping away peacefully to be with Jesus,
May 17th, 2010
All of us are thankful for a praying mother
and grandmother.
This was mom's passport picture
when the family immigrated to Canada
from Germany in October of 1954.
There's no date on the photo
but I believe my parents to be in their
middle forties.
When mom and dad lived in the independent apartments
right next to where I worked,
mom spent thousands of volunteer hours
for the organization.
She made crafts and then sold them
all profit going to the Care Centre.
I believe mom was in her early to
mid eighties here.
Family was together when mom turned 85.
Dad had already passed away six years prior.
Soon after that mom had to be admitted
to the nursing home.
She loved family celebrations!
We always made sure to serve her favorite meal
KFC
with a lovely cake and coffee to follow!
Wonderful memories of a
mom who loved the Lord and did her best!
Love you mom and miss you!
EACH ONE OF US WAS BORN OF A MOTHER
THANK GOD FOR HER GIVING YOU LIFE!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

How lovely that your Mom should have her home-going in the same month as Mother's Day. It seems fitting somehow.
