Honoring Mother


110 years ago today my mother, Vera L. Morrell, was born near Hartman, Colorado.  Mama left her earthly family behind 27 years ago.  We still miss her.

The first Ford Model T came off the line six weeks after Mom's birth.












The telephone of the day.



I think is is safe to say that Mother's parents had neither of these modern conveniences, situated as they were on the High Plains of Eastern Colorado.

 
Mom was married 58 years to the love of her life, my Dad, Delbert W. Lacy

Such a nice post remembering our wonderful mother. No one could have loved a family more or been more dedicated to Christ.

Grace, yes they were.

Vee,you are right.

Chuck, one never quite gets used to the idea that the parents are no longer with us; but they will be again.

Remembering Mom and missing her.

Cute picture! The changes that occurred in that time period were phenomenal. My grandmother was born in 1882- all horse and buggy days. Before she died we had put a man on the moon. That just seems like a huge leap of technology to process.
