What a nice tribute to your Mom. Mine is the same age and struggling - what a common human experience humankind shares. Sounds like your Mom was a great one. My condolences to you all.

Now I must watch My Own Private Idaho. I'll raise toast to her and to you.

Great Job Bryan. Like your dad, when I got married, my motivation took off! A great woman pulls out so much in the men she knows (husbands and sons!).

Very nice, Bryyan. She was a kind lady. I definitely remember, "I work my fingers to the bone!", and also Duke, AKA Duchess. Lol

Thanks for sharing her story. My mom just passed away last Friday, she was 89, and fortunately despite some memory issues was still very much herself right to the end.
