In Loving Memory of My Mom
I put together this video in memory of my mom, a World War II Navy nurse who served in Hawaii and who died on Pearl Harbor Day 2013.
She also loved the Celery Farm, and loved looking out the window at our house and looking at the birds in the Celery Farm.
When Patty and I were married on the Warden's Watch one snowy December day many years ago, my mom and Patty's mom were with us on the platform.
They are now with us in spirit.
The Celery Farm is a treasure for its amazing natural resources, but it is also incredible for all the wonderful memories that it holds for so many of us.

Our love to you both. Our desire is to ‘end well’ and from what you have written your moms did so. They raised wonderful children that we know.

Warm thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I lost both of my parents years ago, and it is never easy, but take comfort in exactly what you said, “they are with us in spirit.” Find joy in the season, it keeps them in your heart easier. All the best.
