Death

y mom was the first born in a family of 6 kids. She attended Duncan schools until at the the age of 16 when she gave birth to me, her one and only child. During my childhood she received her GED.While working full time and going to school full time she graduated from Cameron University with a degree in Accounting at the age of 39. She worked at National Rural Water Association until her death in 2002. In October 2001 my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and she fought it for one year after her double mastectomy. I realize now my mother was a survivor and a fighter. She believed in life and fought to keep hers going. She was the rock of our family and kept us together in both good times and bad. My mother is the reason I am what I am today. She taugher me my morals and my beliefs. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for being my rock and my guidance through the tough times and for being my teacher in the good times. She taught me to laugh and to love with all you are. Thank you Mom.. You are and always will be the best.
