No words can describe the feelings I hold for this beautiful woman I call mom. Her complex mind and gentle soul shined through her facial expressions and her smile, which was contagious. Her properness and corrective nature was her upbringing of etiquette however, she was easily distracted from that with a good laugh and deep conversation. Any sense of depth or intellect captivated and lured her into contemplation. She was deeply spiritual, highly intelligent and controversially independent some would say;) Every one that knew her, knew that she loved God, her family, her friends, her condo, her country, nature, beaches, lakes, sunsets, politics, literature, music, tennis, piano, a good read, art, and enjoying good food and wine with great company. I loved her, dearly and will forever more. She will be missed by all, as she has crossed over into Gods kingdom in peace, with love and acceptance. Mother, you will never be forgotten and I (we) will always know you're presence upon the glimpse of a pretty pastel painting , a dancing blue bird on a branch, a soft spring breeze, the sound of voices in harmony, and the scent of blooming buds. See you soon on the other side, dear Mother with Virginia and Patty at your side- Your Loving Son, JP
