I do regret that but I took comfort in knowing that she left without anymore suffering and she has accepted Christ before she moved on.<br /><br />God bless you & family and yes, we will see them all in heaven one day!

If you liked this, I'm sure you would love the book I wrote in memory of my dad, "My Funny Dad, Harry." It's available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble and you should check out my blog about him at www.karenzemek.blogspot.com.<br /><br />WWW: I love that I have stuff that my mom made and also have lots of things my dad made too: furniture, doors, picture frames and even a bench/table for the backyard. <br /><br />June: Yes, my mom was ahead of her time. Very wise! Glad you liked the letter idea, much better than any poem I'd come up with.<br /><br />Chrissy: Thanks! <br /><br />Jenners: My mom is my all-time favorite person. I know she was proud of me and happy that I found such a loving husband before she died.<br /><br />Nadine: Thanks so much for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. Glad you liked my post about my mom! Yes, I knew you met her at TOPS but didn't know you both started the same day. <br /><br />Daisy: I am very blessed indeed to have had wonderful parents!<br /><br />Joy: Thanks. I thought of my mom every time I watched that show after she died. <br /><br />Sandee: It seems we both had marvelous parents, similar backgrounds.<br /><br />Angie: I always appreciated my mom. The only time I can remember getting mad at her was when she'd make our dog go in the basement or yell at him.<br /><br />Lin: I did enjoy writing this but it also made me cry remembering how things were and missing her. I was very fortunate and that's why I feel bad for those who didn't have a good childhood and contribute to Covenant House and Boys Town on a regular basis.<br /><br />Spicybugz: Thanks!<br /><br />Lucky Lady: They were proud of how I turned out. I was blessed to have such great parents.<br /><br />Karen: Thanks, she was!<br /><br />Dan: I do have lots of fond memories. She certainly was a good person.<br /><br />Unknown Mami: Glad you liked my post and hope you check out my other blog all about my dad.<br /><br />Erin: I couldn't imagine life without my mom either when she was alive. I even told her once that I didn't want her to die before me! I needed her! Be sure to visit my cats' blog at http://karen.pnn.com. I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much, they do a great job!<br /><br />Mrs4444: I'm glad you were able to come by today too and that you liked this post. I'm glad I had such a wonderful mom too!<br /><br />Mountain Woman: Glad you liked my post and yes, I miss her often. There's so much I wish I could share with her. By the way, my dad made the frames on all those pictures.<br /><br />Yaya: Oh, she was a wonderful woman all right!Karen & Gerard Zemekhttp://www.zemeks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-35628971276339885482009-10-16T18:06:24.317-04:002009-10-16T18:06:24.317-04:00She sounds like a wonderful woman.

She said her name was Lenor, and I said my middle name was Lenora and that was the start of a great friendship. We worked well together and talked each other into becoming president and vice president. We had so much fun!!! I could really use a friend like that now.
