Mothers Last Days

     Dear Sisters,  It was so fun to hear all you voices last night on our first Conference Call.  Let's do it again soon.
     It has been a year since our sweet Mother left us and went to heaven. I was going over that special day in my mind last week. How we were so privileged to have her close by us when she died.  Lee and Keith and families were here a lot. Helen and Lilly came up every weekend to cook meals for the next week. Helen read to her from "The Seven Miracles That Saved America". How she loved her country.  Helen found a CD with beautiful symphony music and mother loved listening to it.  Lilly fixed her hair all pretty.  Kay came out and stayed with mother so Linton and I could get away for the weekend. Ruth and Donna came out to see Mother and all of her children were here that weekend for the BBQ, when it rained and we had 90 Pearsons standing in my kitchen and garage. So fun!
      The day she passed Helen and Lilly and I were sitting around the table. Lilly got up and walked into the room where mother was laying on the bed.  She came back out and said "She is gone". We walked into the room and 'Traumerei' was  playing on the stereo. The piano piece she played at Uncle Blair's Funeral. I'm sure that all her brothers and sisters were there to take her home.  Helen and Lilly and I stood over her and wept. How can you say good-bye to someone like our mother. One of the chosen ones. So talented, hardworking, faithful, giving, unselfish, and so amazing. Thank you for being our Mother.  Love, Jelene
