The day Marian Van Sickle was born in Durand, Illinois.
My eldest son Mark told me on his last visit home that we’re all just a generation or two away from being forgotten. I’ve been thinking about that fact and wanted to remember my Mother on the anniversary of her birth.
Our mother had her 88th birthday in a Rockford Illinois hospital and passed away 6 days later on September 9, 2000.
I remember her well. She was a lovely woman.
Thanks for remembering her and writing a nice comment today.
Delightful pictorial homage
She was a wonderful person
Thank heaven for photographs. Such great memories. We will always remember our moms. xo
Lovely post.
Great photos. Sobering thought what Mark said. Gotta make the most of our time here. dc
The statement by Mark was very thought provoking. It is so true! Lovely pictures of a lovely woman.
I have a heart full of wonderful memories of your mother gcr
You look so much like your beautiful mother, Ruth. What a lovely photographic tribute to her.
