Happy 98th birthday, mom. I can’t imagine you at 98, you only got to be 75, which seems pretty young now.
But I imagine you’d still be spunky. As you are still I’m sure.
In our hearts forever.
Celebrating mom.

She’s absolutely beautiful. I can see her reflected in you and Carl.

My Maternal Grandmother Frances Marie O’Brien (married Brown) was also born on August 11 – she got to see 90+ although sadly her daugher – my mom – TADN – only saw 78 – Happy Great Beyond birthday to all!

It’s sad that not everybody gets to make it to the 90s.

If you see us next to dad you’ll say we all looked like him especially as babies…but we carry her in us too.

Dawn, that’s a nice, short and sweet tribute to your Mom. I lost my mom when she was 83, two weeks before her 84th birthday.

I’m sorry. 83 isn’t very old either. Mom died three weeks before her 76th birthday.

No it isn’t and what a coincidence our moms died so close to their birthdays. That made it even more difficult. My mom’s birthday was Valentine’s Day, so right after she was gone, I was surrounded by advertising for Valentine’s Day, even at the grocery store.
