On Friday morning my mother-in-law slipped away from this life as she slept. The best way to exit...what anyone would wish for. On Halloween she would have been 103 years old. She saw so much change in this world...the stories she told! So much insight to the old days shared generously. We had some great laughs. These photos are when she was in her 90s. I remember a great time when my brother was about to leave in his convertible and she was amazed by it...so he offered her a joy ride. Off they zoomed, hair blowing in the wind. When they got back she had a huge smile and pointed to her cheek and told my brother, kiss me. And he did. I figured she was the only woman walking into her residence who would be able to say she went for a spin in a sportscar with a 40-some year old handsome fellow...WOW did she grin! These last couple of years she worried that god had forgotten her...she prayed to be remembered. On Friday her prayer was answered and she went home to be with all those she has missed for so long. Peace to her and her children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren...may she always be remembered with love. Thérèse Hurtubise Barnes 1911-2014.
