There is no better phrase to honor the graduation of my beloved mom into whatever lies beyond the visible than per ardua ad astra or through adversity to the stars.

Mom certainly endured more than her fair share of adversity. She always faced it with courage, determination, and grace. Godspeed mom, Godspeed.

My condolences to all your family Richard. I was just telling my family about how your sister Barb had her retirement ceremony after becoming a General in the Army and how I felt bad that this would happen so soon after such a wonderful occasion...life is ups and downs as we all know. I have good memories of your folks and am quite fond of them. God bless.

Having a great mom never leaves you. She may not be reachable by phone but she is always there.
