The "Shared Memory Photos" Story


It was an ordinary day.  Adding some photos to share with you so you can see how beautiful my mom really was.  The last two day's stories dealt with mom's death and her "Life's Celebration" so today I can show you why she was so special, not to just me, but to everyone who ever met her.  The photos start from one of the latest taken of mom to the earliest photo I can find.  A few shared final remembrances from many will end the series of stories tomorrow.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
