Today February 22, 2013 would have been my Mother's 85th birthday - so on this date - I honor her with a picture taken in 2009 on a good day and an insert of one that was taken of her as a baby - she passed on February 11, 2010 just 11 days before her 82nd birthday and 1 week after Rick's major stroke.

Shirlene - this is such a beautiful way to honor your mum. I'm sure she would be overjoyed to see that she has touched a lot of hearts here at Cute and is still remembered so fondly.

"Miss Loretta" as most of you know - loved the CUTE family so very much and even was able to visit from time to time in her last year - while living in a nursing home - where she was cared for very well and it gave her an additional year with us. I know she is smiling down on all of you today and saying - there they are my CUTE family. Hehehe!

Thank you Gerry for the extra explanation. I'm only a year or so old to this group and learn so much as the days go by.

Shirlene, your Mom looks so beautiful. I'm sure you have many many happy memories and that's what you need to sustain you. May God bless you and your family and may He ease the pain of your loss.

Hugs
Lois W.

Wonderful memories of your mom. You must be missing her a lot and especially on this day. For all of us that have lost a parent they would be proud that we think of them everyday.

Dearest Shirlene:
I can't believe where the years have gone, but I know you will always keep her in your heart. I didn't know her well, but loved her as did all the others that met her here on Cute. You were lucky to have such a beautiful Mom.
Hugs Jerri

I have the most light and kind memories about Loretta Jean Greenman. Her humor and optimism helped me to resolve different issues in my life. I'm happy that I knew her. Miss Loretta will always be here in the CUTE community.
Thank you, dear Cuties, for remembering Miss Loretta. She will always be in our hearts ...
My prayers are for you, dear Shirlene.

I am so sorry that I haven't been around in the last couple years, but I see that the "Miss Loretta Scholorship" has been awarded to several people - as it does every six months - I do hope that they have enjoyed receiving this generous gift from the owner of CUTE and that they think of my mother - even though don't know me or her, in fondest. She passed on February 1

She passed on February 10, 2010 - four years have slipped by and Rick & I are not divorced, however we are not living together. There has been another woman involved, sad to say. I have struggled with my health and also financially, but one day at a time - I am getting through this all. I just wanted each of the CUTE family to know that I love you each and remember you daily. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

Shirlene I send blessings to you. I am sorry I've been so long out of the loop. I cannot believe after all you did tht you and Rick are living separate lives. I often wondered how things were going.
God bless you my dear. I will keep praying for you. ElizabethAK
