She was for the most part a modest woman who worked hard and took great care of her humble possessions, who took delight in and saw the humor in life's daily ironies; but who was singularly outrageous in her outspoken pride in her children. Mom gave to us a keen awareness of current political dialogue and a moral compass anchored in justice and fairness; a strong Depression born value of conservatism and the importance of caring for our belongings; a transforming ability to perceive beauty in everything around her; an unfailing generosity of spirit; a depth of honesty that tolerated only "little white lies" meant to protect a passive nature; a droll, impish sense of humor that helped redefine life's ironies; and, a stubborness that could defy the strongest of wills. Her support and enthusiasm for us in times of success, and comfort and encouragement for us in times of despair will sustain us for the rest of our lives.
