My mom was the best, gone too soon, 23 years ago at the age of 52. She was a teacher for 30 years, a true optimist, a dreamer, and most of all a sports fan. A ravenous supporter of Penn State Football, a die hard New York Yankee fan who would go to bed at night listening to the radio broadcast out of the NYC on her walkman, and lover of Syracuse basketball. She was one of a kind, who would empower her students, and lift the spirits of all of us around her.
On her headstone the front reads, "Always a teacher, and in all ways a teacher", the back of the stone has the Penn State logo (of course) and the phrase "Be sure to eat at the Tavern, thanks for stopping by." My dad has said when his time comes and he is laid to rest by her, he wants the stone to read nothing more than "Always her student." As everyone who knew her, remains to be.
Mom is the name of God on the lips and in the hearts of all children, call your mom today, tell her that you love her, and appreciate all that she is.
