Missing Mom

Jane Smisor Bastien:  January 15, 1936 - March 27, 2018

 

This picture of Mom was taken in 2012 in her beautiful garden. She loved everything:  music, bright colors, flowers, art! Her enthusiasm for life was incredible and this energy, the beauty she could find in every ordinary thing is what I miss most. She lived a joyful life, throughout good and bad times, and she managed to find peace and optimism in each day. May she rest in peace and always be remembered for a life truly well lived.                                                                                              ~Lori
