What a lovely tribute from a daughter to her beloved mom. I feel very fortunate that I still have my mom with me. Not exactly the same mom that raised me but a different mom. I can tell because her hands have never changed they are still the same ones that nutured me from the second I was born and will continue till the day we part this earth and celebrate in Heaven together. Just her mind has changed, now I spend time with a 74 year 'young' body but with a mind and actions and thoughts of a 4 year old. This wonderful written tribute again made me realize that even though I cannot go to my mom any longer for her knowledge, or wisdom or reassurance that I'm doing fine in my journey as a mom of two sons, or even something as simple as sharing wonderful recipes together but I still get to spend time in her world and we can hold each others hands. 'Thank You' for reminding me how lucky I am. I hope MaryJane's memories of her gracious and wonderful mom will sustain her and help her when her heart is hurting and missing her the most.

She has to have been such a wonderful role model. So much talent along with a beautiful character. No wonder our Queen Bee is a Queen BEE! It was a beautiful tribute.
Dona, my mother also has become a little girl. She still knows her family and friends, and has finally begun telling stories from her childhood which I just love to hear. I wanted these stories when I was a girl, but never heard them until the last couple of years. MaryJane's tribute is a welcomed call to appreciate fully what we still have.
Elizabeth, sending you a hug as you remember your mother.
Love,

I loved it. I lost my Mother Helen to cancer a year ago the day I got my issue. It was so good to read Mary janes story.
I miss my mom so much.
Hugs,
