We were always in awe of mom. She could cook, sew, hang wallpaper, hang Sheetrock, repair anything that needed fixing, drive a stickshift and can the best green beans and jellies. I don't think there was anything mom could not do. We always had the latest in style clothing as moms seamstress abilities were quite remarkable. Our Barbie dolls always had the best dresses as mom lovingly made them. She never asked for much and lived a simple life. We miss her every day but her words and her teachings live on through us, her Children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. We love you mawmaw.
