My Mom passed away this past Aug. , 4 days before her 81st B-day, and 3 days after my 44th.

Mom had a quick wit, and never hesitated to 'tell it how she saw it',

She was a very good basic cook, and made fantastic Spaghetti and meatballs. She loved to play euchre and do crossword and word search puzzles. She loved music, was always whistling...which of course drove us all nuts....but I would love to hear her whistle one more time. She loved cats (and dogs) and always tried to have a cat if she could. The nursing/retirement home where she last lived had several cats and she loved them all.
Shortly after she passed away I had 2 'visits' from my Mom, the first was short and sweet...I felt her love for me so strong. The 2nd was longer and we had a great 'conversation' She looked radiant and sat in a chair while I talked to her about my life and how things were. I hope (and know) that I will have more visits from her.
Mom was overweight for as long as I can remember but I have pics of her where she was very slim. I think her weight issues started with convienence foods and going back to work once I was in school full time.
I love you Mom.

So all you other No S-ers, care to share about your Mom?
