Sounds like June was a gem. Remembering back to my grandmother, they shared some similarities in though, and I'm betting June would have made sure you listened. Thanks for sharing.

Your mother and my mother could have been twins, Sally. I enjoyed reading your fun post on your mom's sayings. As I read each one, I thought of my mother who has been gone 22 years this July 29. Thank you for the memories as Bob Hope would say. Our mothers are up there in Heaven watching us and comparing sayings.
Respectfully, Jan

My mum was on of the most feisty red-haired women I ever knew, she stood 4'10" in her high heels, but could make callow youth quake when they mucked up in a train or bus. Yes, she would be 100 this April, missed out on her telegram from the queen, she finally approved of me in her last days, I was the black sheep, but most like her. I'm sorry about your loss, I'm an orphan too. Bless you Sally, Roy

What a lovely tribute to your mother. She sounds like an interesting person full of wisdom. I like her remarks on the things you've mentioned. She was an optimist.

Oh, Sally this is absolutely beautiful, and what lovely memories you have of your mother, June. She sounds like a woman just out of my head. You must miss her so very much. But nobody can take away the good memories. I've got tears in my eyes. Ulla:)))

    Thank you for the beautiful review, Ulla dear. My father left us when I was very young, my mother raising four children by herself. She didn't have an easy life, but her humor, love, and hard work to support us made all the difference. She was very special.
    Sending you my best today as always,

What a beautiful and heartfelt portrayal of someone you love. It is done with creativity and style. I am sure you long for the day when Christ returns and you can see her again. Truly a great tribute.

Oh Sally, this is a lovely story I enjoyed every word. I was so moved by your words. I think I would have loved your mother, reading your words about her -
'Never a day goes by that I don't think about my mother.'

That sentence really got to me. It brought on the tears which I often shed, and I feel exactly the way you do - every day. Thank you for the read dear Sally. Love Dorothy xxx

This is a beautiful tribute to your mother. It sounds like she knew how to enjoy life despite all the trials and tribulations that came with it. My mother died just short of ninety-nine, but I don't think there was much she enjoyed about life. She worried too much.

Great memories you have of your mother. Thank you for sharing all these things that you remember her saying. Lots of good advice. Strange how we remember the things our mother taught us, and still can hear her voice.
