Just Because
This is my mom, Joan, who passed away July 11, 2006, after a long battle with diabetes. This picture was taken the day after Christmas, 2005, and it's one of the best of her I had seen in a long time. This is how I remember her, smiling, just about to talk--boy that woman loved to talk!! I am who I am because of her, probably more than anyone. I am walking for her as much as for myself. She needs to be here so people can see her. I love you, Meeps!
