My mom, Mary Stone, was such an awesome lady. She was so much fun and such an incredible example of how to be a godly wife and mother. I miss her laugh and her wisdom and her great sense of humor. I know she is happier with Jesus, and that helps my heart. I am so grateful to God for allowing me to know her for 29.5 years. We had lots of fun along the way. I told her when I was about 16 or 17, that if my kids loved me half as much as I loved her that I would consider myself a success. Mom sacrificed for us all the time, but didn't do it to be told how wonderful she was, she was just that wonderful. Mom led me to the Lord when I was 6 years old. My earliest memories are of her singing and reading to me in the rocking chair. She was a great homemaker and wonderful wife. She was the best mom and grandma ever. She loved all of us equally, and when she died we all five talked how she made each one of us feel like we were her favorite! THAT is wisdom! She went to be with Jesus on January 13, 1994. She had fought her battle with breast cancer valiantly and was an amazing witness to a lot of people during her 7 year fight. I love you, Mom, and miss you so very much. Mother's Day 1991 (I think) This is one taken when we weren't ready, but I can't find the other on the computer right now.
Mother's Day 1988. My sisters flew me home from NM to surprise my mom for Mother's Day. I was pregnant with the twins, but didn't know at this time that they were twins!
Me, Nessa and Mom at the Mother's Day banquet at church.
I'll add more pics as I find them, but can only handle doing this little bits at a time.

What a legacy she left behind! She would be so proud to see you following in her "Mom footprints!"
Thanks, Terrye! That's so sweet of you to say.
