In memory of her joy of verse, my daughter and I have put together a short collection of her poems. We hope you will remember her with much love and kindness whenever you read these poems.
Mother was an avid reader, a crossword puzzle devotee, and a lover of words. She thought little of her poetic talent because it came so easily to her, but also because she completed her education only through the eighth grade. Born on September 4, 1919, she was the third child in a family of seven children who lost their father in 1931. At that time, with the youngest child being three years old, Mother went out to work to help support the family.view less
