I don't really think John was writing funny lyrics at that time (not that he couldn't have) so I'm still searching for the silly billy lyrics.

We've documented before how we always make Mom's mince meat/raisin/apple pie. I'll be making one for Allie's birthday (we can only hope that she will pass on the tradition because Debra will not). The tradition, mince pie for holidays, is probably why we continued to make that one. the cherry pie was a sometimes thing and I never thought of trying to make it Mom's way. I'm going to do it too. So you can say "Johnny's copying me" "Am not" "Are too!" .... and so on.
Hi Mom!!

ALZ is so tough. Not as tough on the patient as it is on the family. The ALZ assoication has great support group meetings you could attend, just to talk about mom even though it's been 7 years. Just something to think about.

That poem is lovely. Your mom would have really liked it. I miss her, too. It's been such a long time.
