Remembering Mom...

Eloise Luzader was known and loved by many.  And when she died last February, we lost a very special person…and I lost my mother.

For most of us, moms are irreplaceable…we only get to have one and you never fully appreciate them until they’re gone.

Many have been asking, when will her Memorial service be?  After thinking about it, I decided NOT to have a traditional service.

Everyone grieves the loss of a loved one differently.  For me, this website just feels like the right thing to do.  It’s certainly less stressful, but it also allows those who knew her a chance to enjoy some memories Eloise left behind and just enjoy her life one more time.

Mom and I never really discussed any details of a funeral service.  Her only request was to be cremated and her ashes NOT thrown into the ocean.  Because as Mom put it, ‘I don’t know how to swim!’

Yeah, I really miss Mom a lot.  She was funny, she was generous, and she was loving.  Mom drove me nuts like no one else could but she also loved me like no other person could…I think that’s what ‘moms’ suppose to do.

As I looked through all the pictures, I was reminded how incredible her life was…and, of course, it made me miss her even more.  At the same time though, it really helped me cope with all the grief.

Mom was 96 years old when she passed. That’s a long time…and yet, for anyone that knew her, I think you would agree that she still had so much to live for…

So please enjoy looking back at Mom’s life, I enjoyed it and I hope you do too…
