(Sorry, I accidentally posted this in the public figure obituary folder.)

In the second photo, Mom is on the right, next to her sister.

Third photo, she's wearing a blue jacket. I'm standing next to my dad who is wearing an Iowa shirt.

Even at 85 y.o. she was still active in the SDA church that she attended in TX. By maintaining a vegetarian, low-fat, low-sugar diet she outlived her 4 siblings, all drinkers and smokers, by decades. Back in the 50's, while washing clothes in a laundromat, she said she had a vision of hell. After that, she sent me and my siblings to a Lutheran church in Milwaukee, WI. After moving to IA, we attended the Wesleyan Methodist Church, a fundamentalist denomination, for many years. 

After finding a job working for an SDA doctor, she joined that denomination. No one else in the family was interested in attending the SDA church. After moving to TX, I began attending church in Keene, TX where I met my future wife, a California girl. We soon packed up and moved out there to begin our family.

May I add my condolences to the others.  Our mothers are very special and I am sure yours was dear to you.  May God give you comfort.  Thank you for sharing the pictures and memories.  Courage and blessings.

Here's a copy of Mom's testimony and conversion experience. She was not raised in a Christian home, but with drinkers, smokers, and cussers. I've wondered if her "vision" was a result of some kind of medical condition, but it was just a one-time experience.
