MOM! A Tribute!

My Mom was born Eurith Melvene Williams in Dixon, Illinois, July 16, 1928.

By virtue of Marriage she became Eurith Johnson in 1945 and Eurith Walters in 1967, later to revert to the name she bore the longest, Eurith Johnson.

Mom Died as Eurith Johnson on October 19, 2002, in Oceanside, California.......Yesterday Plus Four Long Years!


Mom had a rough life in many ways.......when she was "down" she was "very down" but when she was "Up" she was a very happy and fun person, a Joy to be around!

Well, dang it! Mom must disapprove of the other picture I meant to post here! She must have an "In" with Bill Gates! It was just an early 1960s pic, nothing to be ashamed of, Mom! C'mon!

OK Then! As an alternative, I will post a Joke that Mom would have, I believe, gotten a good laugh out of..........

MAMA'S BIBLE...Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered.
Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."
The second said, " I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house."
The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."
The fourth said, "You know how Mamma loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mamma just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."

The other brothers were impressed.

After the Holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote:
"Milton, the house you built is so huge I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.""Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks.""Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.""Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you." Luv Ya, Mama

Love You, Yoo, Mom!
