A Tribute to Mamo


It has been a busy couple of weeks for us. Caroline lost her great grandmother Blanche Layne Turner or "Mamo", on December 18th. Mamo lived a very long and happy 93 years and thoroughly enjoyed her 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Caroline is the 7th great grandchild and is named after Mamo (Caroline's middle name is Layne). Caroline got to meet Mamo back in October for the first time and then again at Thanksgiving at Nana and Pop's house. Mamo kept telling Caroline how pretty she was and called her "blue eyes".

I am sad that Caroline won't have memories of Mamo, but I know that she will hear a lot about her. Mamo was a true example of committment, dedication and love for her family. Our family will keep Mamo's memory alive and her spirit will always be with us.
