My mom passed away last week and her funeral was Saturday. She was quite a woman. She grew up on a farm in northern Michigan with 9 other sisters and 2 brothers. She moved to Detroit just before WW2 when only 18 with $20 in her pocket. She got a job as a nanny/housekeeper of a well to do family. Here she met my dad and in the spring of '41 they married. My dad got drafted 9 mo. after that and served 4 yrs. in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. During this time, mom saved her money and bought a 53 acre run down farm here in western Michigan. She fixed up the house (even put on a new roof herself), bought a tractor, and started a small dairy herd before dad came home all sick with malaria. She was always there for us kids with advise if we needed it, never giving any unless we asked.I will truely miss her, but I find comfort knowing she is in a better place with my dad since she was saved and knew the Lord. By the way, she would have been 94 this April.
