I found my favorite picture of her taken in 1955.
We always called this her Lucille Ball photo.
I also found one of her favorite poems:
Mother To Child
by Carol Lynn Pearson
Look --
Your little fist
Fits mine
Like the pit
In a plum.
One day
And one size,
These two hands will
Clasp companionably.
Help me, child
Forgive me
When I fail you.
I'm your mother,
True,
But in the end
Merely an older equal
Doing her faltering best
For a dear
Small friend.
Happy Birthday Mom
I love you and miss you

That's such a nice picture...
Our Mom's birthdays, something we will never forget. I was a 'Mama's Boy' too Jim. BIGTIME.
Nice post, Jim. Glad to see you are paying a nice tribute to your mother, she was obviously a very special lady.
She was very beautiful.
striking pix of your mom. That was my first thought on seeing it (lucille ball), and I had not even read your blog post yet!
remember all the good times!
That was a nice tribute to your mom. And may I say, back in the day, your mom was smokin' hot.
Sure is a nice pic. I'm sorry she's gone.
I agree with Nik - the photo is a lovely one
