While a year has gone by since Mother’s passing, I am certain that we think of her often.
As I share the following images of years past, I am reminded of the message from that classic movie “It’s A Wonderful Life,” which tells us that it is not just the life we live, but it is also the lives we have touched that adds sweetness to our memory.
She was a daughter, a wife, a mother and a friend, and I am thankful to God for knowing her, and being loved by her.

I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also
2 Timothy 1:3-5
