My mom, LaVerne, died of Alzheimer's in June 2006. She'd been ill for nine years, and it was horrific.
My mother was hard-working, loving, articulate and funny. She enjoyed reading, dancing with my father, and she relished a good laugh.

Nothing pleased her more than being with her family. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and for mom the only real roses were red.
