On November 8th this year my mom lost her brave fight to cancer. To honor her memory and raise money for expenses from her passing, I've chosen a message that not only expresses what she means to me and my brother, but a message we hope others can relate to as well.
Mom was not only strong in will but strong in mind, spirit and faith. She lived a simple life and was never one for extravagance. Rather than buy something from a store she would say, "Why should I buy it when I can make it myself?"; and she did! Curtains, blankets, jewelry and home decor made her so proud to create not only for herself, but for family and even occasionally as a vendor at local flea markets.
She did not wear her heart on her sleeve but in her actions and relations with family and friends.
