This is our mother. At times she was the fourth sister,or the best friend, but she was always Mom. She taught us the finest things in life....FAMILY... Her whole being revolved around her seven children. She always worried so much about us, and in return we have become worriers ourselves. I don't think its a bad trait, as we all need someone to worry/care about us.... She came to the USA from Canada when she was three years old. To never return. She met our father and settled down . She was a very strong woman..both physically and mentally. She was a hard worker both in and out of the home. Until one uneventful day she got seriously hurt at work. Which resulted in the loss of her right forearm and hand. She worked so hard to train herself to be one handed. She was still able to be a care given grandmother changing diapers and feeding bottles.
We lost this wonderful friend, sister and mother on April 15,2001 soon to be eight years.
She is still with us in all we do, as she so loved to be involved in all we did.
We love you Addie, and miss you more than you would ever know.
Love Always,
Ellen for Ellen, Shirley and Charlotte
