She was my mother and my friend. We went on so many trips together. She bowled and golfed in to her eighties. We went on many fishing trips together. Her and I went fishing one day when we were in Minnesota. I had the owner of the resort show me how to run the boat and away we went only to be back in within ten minutes and headed for the hospital to have a hook removed from her finger. I asked if she would go out with me again because of what happened (the hook) and she said ‘sure’. She was such a good sport and ready for any new experience. I will miss you mother forever! Judy
