So sorry for your loss. What an outstanding example she and most all Americans of that generation (including my parents) set for us.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. There is no one as special as a Mother and it sounds like yours was one of great ones.

Your mom lived an outstanding life, one that should be celebrated and not mourned.

My condolences. Your mom lived a full and productive life. My mom also joined the Army after graduating school for Nursery Maids, but got involved with aerial reconnaissance photography. She had to get out after 6 months to take care of her mother after her father died.
