I'm sharing this story about my adoptive mom.  Mom passed away on Easter night in 1994, which left me with a lot of fond memories that live in my heart today.  I shared three main points about my mom, although there are many more.  Mom worked very hard all her life and she was a caretaker of my grandmother whom I loved dearly.  Mother always had a humorous family story to tell--she kept you laughing even if it was the same story.
