A Perfect Autumn Day - Memorial Page

It was a sunny and breezy day, ideal weather for a walk. Mom came to visit so we took the kids to the creek and Smithville Park. The trees looked so beautiful with their green, brown, gold, yellow, rusty leaves. Nov. 2, 2005

I am back at square one with scrapping my mom's memorial book. I lost all of my pages in a computer crash earlier this year.

Amongst Mom's albums and things, I came across this photo of Mom as a young woman, together will all of us as little kids. Evelyn appears to be about a year old, which makes this circa 1975. I think that we were at Abuela's house (Julia) by the river. Mom looks so young, still.

In retrospect, she really must have been a woman of strong determination and must have had a pioneer spirit to leave her home, her parents and everything else behind, to come to the US, where she only knew only one person: her brother Geraldo. She remained in Trenton, N.J. until her death in Feb. 27, 2008.
