When you were kids there was probably always something happening with such a big family, I only have one younger sister

I can't imagine the feeling of such an unexpected thing to do, (burying your own child) but no doubt your mum has still led a full life and having had such a fun loving daughter, what a bonus. 

Thanks Kopes - I tried to make sure life was as full and as pleasant as possible

after such a terrible shock of losing her 3 son's - Thankfully her health was good

except for her mobility up until 2 months before she passed she was excellent

mentally and quite tough - she kept me on my toes LOL
