"In Loving Memory of my Mama"

"One of the blessings of growing older is the discovery that some things I once believed to be a flaw have turned out in the long run to become my strengths."
~ unknown
This is a scanned photo of my Mom. The flaw that I mean above is because my Mom had breast cancer. She passed away in 1971 from breast cancer complications at the age of 44. The strength is that she gave me so much of herself that I treasure her ways now that I am an adult.
This photo is from her graduation from Syracuse University.

"Breast Cancer Awareness Memories ~ We are in this all together!"
~ martian cat
Please remember, BeComing Aware (BCA) does not only mean you should wait until September to have your Mammogram.
Early detection can save and does save lives. Please remember to have your annual Mammogram at any time throughout the year.
One last thing to remember is that Breast Cancer is not only a women's health issue. Men can be diagnosed with Breast Cancer, too!
This was from my 2008 advertising quilt block for the Digital Breast Cancer Awareness Quilt, featuring my image on the ribbon.

And, thank you to Prairiekittin for her candle design using my original candle photo.
