Remembering Mom...

Most people called her Eloise, many called her Auntie, and I called her Mom. For most of us, 'moms are special'…You only have one, and when you lose her, it hurts… it REALLY hurts… I didn’t fully recognize this until I lost mine…Mom is irreplaceable…
‍
Lots of people knew Mom and asked when the funeral services would be. After much thought, I decided not to have a traditional funeral service…it simply would be too stressful…
‍
Everyone is different when it comes to grieving…this, for me, feels like the right thing to do. As for Mom, we never discussed it.  She just wanted to be cremated and her ashes NOT scattered in the ocean.  As she put it, ‘I don’t know how to swim!!!’

Despite not having a memorial service, Mom’s life was so special to me, and she was loved by so many, it only feels right to celebrate her life and remember her through photos…
