Our Mother was born in Philadelphia PA, she was the youngest of 2. Her sisters name was Barbara. When my mother was 18 her and my gramma moved to Jamestown,NY.My Aunt stayed in Philly She was married. Mother raised 7 children with the help of my gramma.(mostly by herself.)
She was a good mother and she never let us children go with out.Sure there were times when she struggled who don't.But for the most part we always had no matter what. Our Mother was very loving,caring,witty and a great Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. If there is anything in this world she loved that was her family.Especially the grandkids and the great grandkids.She had 2 dear friends Diane and Kay she loved them like they were our family.Mother got along with everyone and would give the shirt off her back to a stranger if they were cold.She would feed just about anyone if they did not have.Even if it meant that she had to go without.My mother had went through some rough patches in her life after all us kids were grown and on our own, but we in return was there for her when she needed us. When we found out she was sick(with small cell lung cancer) it was hard on all of us mainly me and my lil sister.I was fired from my job because i needed to stay home and take care of our mother.My lil sister was our back bone when we did not have even if it meant her and hers went without. I moved in with my mother just so i could look after her.I was her main provider and secondary was hospice.They were wonderful with my mother. They treated her like family. Even though our mother was sick she still had her witty caring and loving ways she was full of life. She lived her last days on this earth like there was no tomorrow. She was bed ridden and i was there to tend to her every need. I miss her and love her to this day she will never be forgotten.May she now rest in peace with her Mother,Father,and Sister
