My Mum

Stella Rose, my mother, and one of my very best friends, left for Angel Land on Monday, Dec 1, just  over three weeks short of her 83rd birthday.

I am going to miss you a lot, Mum...all the wonderful phone conversations...all the silliness...and your gentle but deep insights into people and into life itself.  You are going to be a terrific angel, though, I suspect, one of the more mischievous angels.  Heaven is a beautiful place.  It is also wonderful fun.

"There's a better home awaiting,
In the sky Lord, in the sky."
