Two years ago we found out Mom had Stage 4 colorectal cancer. She spent the last two years living with the disease with more grace than I could ever muster. It was as if the cancer was just an inconvenience and an annoyance and she didn't miss a beat in life because of it.
Mom was a sweet woman and a wonderful mother to all her kids. I used part of Steve's memorial to Elizabeth because that was how my Mom felt about people. She befriended every person who crossed her path with such warmth and rarely passed judgement on folks who others might not want to talk to. She would gladly go without something or give something away if it meant bringing a smile to someone else.
My sister said it. When our fathers and our inlaws passed our hearts hurt. When our Mom passed our hearts broke. I'm going to miss her so much.
