Your mother was an example of someone who enjoyed life and people. I played euchre with her many times and she was so much fun. She enjoyed a cold beer. She never went past me without saying hello. Age difference meant nothing to her, she could have fun with everyone. She was such a positive person. The world needs more people like her.
