May is Totally Mothers Month- Mine at least....

My most treasured memories are many, but the most that stands out tonite is this; May 11, was my "mom's birthday,she was born in 1915,in the (small city) at that time ; Athens ,Ga. She was the seventh child,and the second girl, in her family of 12, having 8 brothers ,and only one younger than she. Her "mom" passed when my mom was only 8 years old, in1923.( I inherited her winter coat, with the fur collar,) and still have til now.My mom inherited the solid wood 5 drawer chest dresser.  And I have it now, use to hold my clothes.

Picture of my Mother Minister Ovella C. Grier and my son Minister Terence Grier of Cranford, N.J.,photo, was taken in 1998.  She was wearing her beautiful  white dress,  so lovely,she looked.  And "T' was really pressed also.

My "mom"  passed  Nov.9,2005.  that date is important also, it was my parents 65th wedding Anniv. My Father passed Feb.23,2002.age  82,   And Mom was 90 yrs young.

My Dad use to say," Ovella, you know you robbed the cradle, " see my dad was  5 years younger than  my Mom.

Another birthday, without her, and ( 6) Mother's Days without her, she was greatly loved and more greatly missed. But life must go on...........
