I saw a news headline that mentioned "April 19 events" and it gave me pause. I'm sorry the date of your mother's birthday is forever etched in people's brains as an anniversary of a tragic event. But, for you, it's a time to remember your Mom and I thought you might enjoy these. Thomas said "keep them coming" so I intend to!
I'm sure you'll remember the celebration of your mother's 60th birthday in 1988. It was particularly eventful for us as Amy was just about a month old and she made her first trip to Long Island to help celebrate! I remember the restaurant required a chair be set aside for Amy which I thought was ridiculous but it was well worth the surprise for your Mom.
I like this one because Mrs. King and Betty are right by your mother's side with thoughtful looks on their faces.
Now from the sticky page albums:
She looks very happy in this picture and such a sweet outfit!
I'm guessing she's 9-10 years old maybe?
This one is labeled in your mother's handwriting: "Taken at Andrew's house". I expect someone will be able to identify the make and year of that car and maybe the date could be narrowed down a bit.
This one is also labeled in your mother's handwriting: "Jan 15 1950". I'm not sure who the baby is?
This appears to be a bridal shower for your mother who looks a tad overwhelmed in this shot!
She would have been 85--can you believe that? Happy Birthday memories to you all.

Just LOVED looking at those pictures! Thanks for helping make a memory even more special! I think I speak for everyone when I say we love you for taking the time and care to share and preserve our past so we may treasure it even more. What a blessing you are.
Thank you so much for the pictures. I think the picture of Mom at Andrew's house is in Florida on her honeymoon. I love the one with Mrs King and Betty, too. Her two best friends.
