I started this blog shortly after my mom passed in 2012.  Going on 5 years, incredible she's been gone so long.  

This woman was so caring and could be so ornery and so incredibly stubborn...there's a huge hole in my life and I still can't believe she's gone.   I miss you, mom.   Love, Sandy

My niece Crystal made this video for mom's 80th birthday...too bad we can't hear all of the music, but it's still wonderful.  

Old portrait of mom, can't touch...

This stunning one my sister Michele did, proudly
displayed here at mom's 80th birthday party

I love this ocean picture

Mom and Gray Baby maybe?

Mom and dad - she's too sexy for that cap!

A rare, unbeforeseen picture of our mom with child!

And after here's the child - me with Dad Haynes -
I remember mom talking about Patty Haynes..
