The courage that my mother had
Went with her, and is with her still:
Rock from New England quarried;
Now granite in a granite hill.

The golden brooch my mother wore
She left behind for me to wear;
I have no thing I treasure more:
Yet, it is something I could spare.

Oh, if instead she'd left to me
The thing she took into the grave!--
That courage like a rock, which she
Has no more need of, and I have.

This is Mom's memorial web site. It is a therapeutic effort and a work-in-progress.

Her lifestory at the Evansville Courier

Please donate to the (Indiana) Vanderburgh County Humane Society in remembrance of her - she also loved the Posey County Humane Society, which hopes to open again someday and could use donations too.
Mom also supported the Vanderburgh County Humane Society Pet Clinic.

She loved Bart, Tank, Little Bart & Honey Bump from Growing Up Grizzly: please visit VitalGround.org and contribute as you can.

Other worthy organizations she cared about:
- KSRF
- Keeshond Rescue of the Central States
- Paralyzed Veterans of America
- Adult Literacy

Here is her photo memorial at Mem.com | Here is her memorial tribute at Mem.com | Here are things she liked
Things she wrote  |   Here are picture pages

Not sure if family can handle the showing of her artwork, creations, writings, books, paintings, sketches, clothing designs and clothes she made/knitted/wrought in March 2009. Something online will probably take the place of something in real-time.
There will be donation links to her favorite charities.

You never "get over" losing someone like Mom. You just try to make it through today.
