" My mother, Betty, was 46 when her time on earth ended. She was part of my life for only 19 yrs but she will never be forgotten. She supported us in so many ways, always bringing out the best in us. She worked so hard to make every holiday something special. For a while, we grew up in Camelot. I now realize that WWII had a continuing effect on its victims even decades later. Today, her post traumatic stress would have been seen and understood. "
