If I had to put into a few sentences my memories of my life with my mom and our family and friends it would be.... her best friend was Barbara Rose and we grew up with Karen, Cheryl and Sonny, who are like family to us. Mom and dad loved to have gatherings and do big barbeques for everyone there. My life with mom and dad was always one of great adventures and kindness given to others beyond what any could imagine. The thing mom taught me most important in life is to always remember there are others worse off than me and to pull my head up and give/share kindness in any manner I can and never forget that this kindness is the whole reason that we live.
