What can I say about mom, she was a caring person that put us kids first no matter the burden or cost to her.she was definitly a giver in this world.she wasn't afraid of taking on a new challenge whether it be a move across the state,country or a remodel project, she was a can do person.  she always had a smile for me and a hug to show how much my visits ment to her. She loved it when the family would get together we would play football,backyard baseball ,later on mom was forced to just sit and be the referee for the close calls but she was still part of the games cheering us on. I enjoyed growing up.with mom we did.things as a family our almost weekly trips to the lake. Camping up in Yelm at the lot. are just a few things we did.

when mom was still getting around it wasn't uncommon for her to pop over to our house just intime to sitdown to dinner with us. We would tease her about smelling debs cooking all the way over at her house. I always welcomed the visits. 

Mom even on oxygen would come over and mow our yard on the riding mower when we were out of town. being on oxygen didn't slow her down much. If I was going under her house to work on something she would want to come along and help. That's the kind of person she was always willing to rollup her sleeves and help out.

mom I love you and will miss you daily..
