Mayme C Paeno. She was a great mother and will be missed. She has gone to be with my father and I believe they will be watching over us until the end of our days.
They are not alone and in good company. I like to think of them sitting at camp looking out at the lake with, Joe, Bobby, Lisa, Don, and Dad.
She was born before electric lights, the auto, tv, and telephone. She saw the Great Depression and world wars. She helped raise her other nine siblings because she was the oldest though all of this. She raised three children.
Mom, I love you and will never forget you.
To my surviving family I am sorry I could not be there. I love you all . Johnny
