It’s hard to believe, but it’s been one year since Mom left this world for a better one. So, it’s only fitting that I share some photos of her.
Mom was one of my biggest genealogy fans. She always enjoyed learning new information I discovered. She was also one my my best sources, helping me connect the dots and answer questions about ancestors long gone. I sure do miss her.
