Wonderful Memorial Gallery in her honor, Carol! And it was my pleasure to get to "know" her through your images & words. I can't imagine how hard this loss must be for you, but know that she is still "with" you as she strolls those streets of gold, Hon ~ May the Lord keep you & give you the strength you need to bear this loss. And you're right, she was tenacious & so too must you be. Blessings to you & your family, Carol! Bigg Huggz, my Friend!

A great tribute to your mother, Carol. With lots of warm-hearted images. It´s especially the champion serie that touches me. Exactly the kind how I would like to keep my own mother in mind some day, so full of life. Thanks a lot for sharing these touching memories.

As we would say here in the UK, 'A game old Bird', lovely pictures, great memories.

Sergio Padura		28-Jan-2012 07:52
Just waching the images again I seriously believe that success in life is in a big percentage a matter of attitude. I think your mother had that attitude that makes every single moment a experience that deserves to be enjoyed. She knew that life is a gift so she celebrated it and showed us the path. A big hug, sergio

Fabienne		27-Jan-2012 18:41

I think your mother was/is very proud of you Carol as much as you were of her. You have been a wonderful daughter, i am sure she was a wonderful mother. Death is part of our life cycle. We can never really be prepared for it but...there comes a time that we have no control over. You have amazing memories and because of those, she will live longer... You are an inspiration Carol. Please accept my sincere condolences. Claudia

Although she is now in Heaven, you will continue to feel your mom with you everyday in your heart. Her memory lives on with those she loved and those who loved her. God bless.
