Ms Alberta kept everything. When I say that I mean she literally kept everything that was sent to her by children, grand children and great grand children, nieces, nephews, sisters, brothers, friends. If it was sent, a date was put on it, and it went into her Memory Truck.
I just recently found a small version of that Memory Trunk that had nothing but cards that I had sent to her. I had no idea she had kept all of these. But there are some things in it that really state truths that are as true today as they were the day they were sent. This is one of them that I sent to her Mother's Day 2001.
On the front a mother is holding a child.
When I was a kid, you always said, "Just wait until you have kids of your own."
Now I understand how much work and love it took to raise and to keep a family together. The example of your strength, devotion, and patience is now rippling through the generations.
Thank YOU! Happy Mother's Day. Love Ann
My seventh great grandchild is due in August (Ms Alberta was born August 1, 1926).
Sometimes the glue that keeps us all together gets a little thin; but Ms Alberta's legacy of love is still being passed on.
Favorite recipes and memories of Edith Alberta Shoupe Thomas Brandon, as told on tape and from hand written notes. Ms. Alberta died on May 4, 2011, at the age of eighty four from small cell/large cell carcinoma. Through Christ, Jesus we will see her again one day. Alberta Anne Thomas

Surgery Done!
Both surgeries are done; both were a success. I still will need glasses to read and sew but everything is really really good!
Thank you for your prayers and support.
