A smile, a touch, a gentle laugh remembered. My mother is now a voice that softly whispers in the wind. She was only 64 yrs when she left this planet. She was not ready to go. She loved life too much. She loved children, a laugh with family and friends, politics and her job as Citizen Court Judge for Manitoba. She fought with great courage and even in the darkest moments found something to laugh about. Memories keep those we love close to us forever.
