I am so sorry Carol. I have watched over these short few years your dedication, love & loyalty to your Mother through your photographs here on PBASE. She was very lucky to have you as a daughter. She is beautiful, delightful, smile provoking in her humor despite the effects of older age. Thankyou for sharing her with us.

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!

Sergio Padura	PM reply	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

Carol, your mother is beautiful. I bet she was a ton of fun!! From what you have said and looking at the pictures, I bet she was quite a character with lots of personality.
