In loving memory.... Jean Terry 1936-2007 One year ago my mother passed away. I had a thought, I was trying to remember things about her that only a child would know. I encourage all of you whose mother's are still living to jot down these remembrances because one day you wish you would have. For those whose mothers have passed on, try to remember.... Share them with me or if you think of other things to remember send them to me. Love to all and Happy Mother's Day!
