Mom was only twenty-eight when she moved in this house in 1977, And she lived here until she moved to Sneedville, Tennessee in 2011. Mom was beautiful at twenty-eight and she was still beautiful at sixty-four. She would still be beautiful today but sadly, she isn't with us anymore. When I was growing up, Mom was a stay-at-home mom and that made me glad. She devoted her time to her family instead of a job and that might make feminists mad. But I'm happy that she was a homemaker because I was able to spend more time with her. If I'm asked to give Mom a rating on a scale of one to ten, a ten is what I'll be proud to give her.
Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away at the age of 64 on March 6, 2013.
