Here are more pics of my mother, the one I’ve been celebrating these last two weeks. She was loved by everyone. She was talented and willing to help others in many ways. She taught piano lessons when we were young. This nice photo at the piano was taken years later.

She learned how to cane chairs well and was wiling to help others with their projects.

I love this photo of her with two of the dogs.

And this one at the phone is typical of her–often conversing with friends.

Here she is with her dearest friend from college, Maggie:

My parents had many couples that were considered close, dear friends. They also spent a lot of time with various groups of friends. Here is my mother with Glen and Beth Exum.

And here she is with me! This is the last weekend she came to Buffalo: in May before she passed away in July of 2001. I’m glad we stopped briefly to have this photo taken.
