A Great Loss

Happy New Year to all from Riley and Kyle! We hope 2009 brings everyone great happiness and joy!

While the new year brings all sorts of possibilities and dreams, it is also a great time to remember the past year. Most importantly, we would like to take time to remember Riley and Kyle's great grandmother, Honor Taylor (Mamo). We lost Mamo on New Years Eve after 92 long and wonderful years. Anyone who had ever met or even heard stories of Mamo knows what an amazing woman, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother she was. Her quick wit and spit-fire attitude kept us all laughing and we are all blessed to have had Mamo in our lives. Although Riley and Kyle are still young, we know that a part of Mamo will always be with them and they are so lucky to have had Mamo as such a big part of their little lives.

We miss you Mamo and you will always be with us in spirit! And, your "mamo-isms" will last forever! (for any cousins/Aunts/Uncles reading this - please write down all your favorite mamo-isms and send them this way!)


One last Mamo-ism for the road: "Shakin' like a jack-ass eating cuckle-burrs!"
