On her wedding day in February, 1944.
She would say the happiest days of her life were the births of her four children, but I think it was this day.
She never managed to look her age, even when she was dying.
Even though Louise is not on mom's birth certificate as her middle name (or maybe it is, the document is written in German Swiss), she gave it to me as a middle name, I gave it to my daughter (center), and my daughter gave it to her daughter (left). We enjoyed being the four Louises.
Goodby Mom. We've been together for seventy years and I will miss you.
So sort for your loss, Marguerite. Such lovely pictures. Thanks you for sharing your beautiful memories.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing this wedding photo of your parents. I've only seen her as 70+. How is it I never imagined her at a time before that? What a striking and blissful couple they were! Love, Barb
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear of your mum's death, Marguerite. I have enjoyed your pictures of her over the years. My mum died eight years ago in March and I still miss her every day.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, I have always looked forward to the Louise lunch and to see everyone's picture. She lived a wonderful life, how lucky you are!
