This is Annie (Mom's baby sister, who flew up from Texas to be with her) and Aunt Bernie (one of Dad's sisters, who came to stay over many nights to help). Mom had just woken up from her nap in her own bed! We had gotten help from friends to carry her up the stairs, it took three people. She really wanted to be in her own bed in her bedroom. In this picture we were helping her go through all her jewelry and picking out her clothes for the visitation and funeral. I think we were all numb.
Or slap happy! I don't know what I am laughing about in this picture, but I just love that I am laughing with Mom.
She raised her hands for this picture impromtu. I think she wanted a picture of her praising God, for us to remember that she kept praising Him... unto the very end. Amen!
I know it's dark, but I love her eyes and expression in this picture. Annie is talking and Mom is looking on her with such love. Mom was such a good, patient, attentive listener. She loved me with her listening.
Mom and her boy.
Mom and her girls.
Hannah and Mom.
