We are saddened to hear of Mildred's passing. She was a wonderful woman who treated us as more than friends, she treated us as family. May your memories of her life sustain you through this difficult time.

Eileen and Tom and your family,
I know what it feels like to lose your Mom. It's sad and you'll feel empty for a while. But she will always be with you. Here is a poem I wrote for my mom, you might get a smile from it and recognize the similarities:
PUSH AND PULL
...A poem dedicated to my Mom!
Up a hill
So steep and narrow
In strollers, mothers push their brood.
Into school, then onto college
To learn, to know, to earn our food.
And soon when catapulted into life, Our childlike wonder turns to struggle, Each one of us will trip and fall,
Or find ourselves in some deep trouble.
We arrived here under our own steam,
Pursued the promise of a dream.
The danger was not obvious,
It looked like a perfect match to us!
Then mothers used to pushing, now,
Are wise enough in time to know,
We can
