Just a few weeks ago we celebrated my mother Mary Porter’s 95th birthday. The occasion wasn’t at a fancy restaurant or a big gathering of friends and family. My wife made an exquisite flourless chocolate cake; there were just the four of us (including a grandchild from Chicago) gathered around an oversized dining room table.
I'm a friend of Mary Porter's now after your glowing, lovely words expressed as only the child of this wonderful " mommie" could utter. Sending you lots of hugs, Doug Porter, as your sweet, intelligent, loving Mom would want us to do! See you soon when you are ready!
My condolences to you and your family on the death of your mother, Mary. I really enjoyed reading about her life and thank you for sharing her with us. She sounds like an incredible woman. Will be thinking of you in this time of grief.
Oh, Doug, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know that you miss your mother already, but also that her memories will bring you peace and joy over the coming years. She sounds like the best of women and best of mothers. What an interesting life she has led. Sending you heartfelt condolences.
Your memories of this industrious, thoughtful, brilliant woman bring her to life for me. What a mom! What a human! What a love! I too read science fiction as a kid. Think I was 13-14 when Arthur C. Clark shook my world, shifted my paradigm with CHILDHOOD’S END. If anyone belongs in a new beginning, it is your mother Mary.
