Early today
the Matriarch of the Chamberlain family went “home” to be with the Lord, her
“mate” as she always called Dad and daughter Carol. And 2 hours later, a new great
granddaughter arrived – the "circle of life" continues. When Grandpa C died on January 9, 2013,
another great granddaughter was born that very day.
1926-2016
Rest in Peace, Mom
She was
Mother to 13 children (10 daughters and 3 sons) and Grandma to 38 grandchildren
(19 boys and 19 girls). Today’s new
baby gave her 32 great grandchildren with 4 more coming this year! She was a wonderful mother-in-law and I
treasure the almost 47 years I’ve called her “Mom” She
loved her big family and was sooo very proud of her "kids" and "grandkids" We all have an abundance of memories
special to each of us. Mark and I and
our kids were so blessed to have all 4 parents/grandparents live into their
90’s.
We had breakfast
with my Aunt Dee in Port Orange this morning and such a nice visit. She is 87
and doing well.
Aunt Dee
Been a whirlwind day driving from Port Orange to Lakeland (getting some cold-weather clothes off Daisy) and tonight we are in Lake Worth with Philip, Annette and Luke. Tomorrow we fly to Chicago for the visitation on Friday afternoon/evening and funeral Mass on Saturday.
So appreciate and thankful for Mark's large family and happy and thankful
that Michael, Brooke and Davis have arrived safely back in the good ole USA…
