Today would have been my wonderful mother's birthday. She would have been 101 years old. Mom was one of the greatest mother's in the world. When we were little, she played with us, her two oldest girls. When little Donnie was born with a great health problem, she devoted her life to his care and well being. Four years later another baby girl was born. We were all four the luckiest children in the world to belong to this woman.
This picture was taken in 1933, at the Kress Store in a nickle machine. We never got a studio picture of her or daddy.
She loved her Lord and was faithful to him. She didn't get to church as often as she wanted to in earlier years, but in later years when Donnie got a car, he saw that she went to church as long as she was able.
We lost mom at the age of 71 on 1 Aug 1978, a wonderful light had gone from our lives. How we all missed her, and we still do.
Mom had to see one of her little girls leave us in 1957 when a bad heart could not beat any more. They are both, Zona 1957 and Mom 1978 buried in Hopewell Cemetery along with Daddy 1975, Donnie 1994, and my beloved Duane 1999. How we miss them all.

Happy Birthday Mamaw! :)
This is a beautiful picture of your mother. I remember Kreske's well, a favorite place to go :)
Have a blessed day!
Hi Darlene, in Paris it was spelled Kress. Later we learned that it belonged to Kreske.
Have a Blessed Day.
