I took this photo of Mom with her housekeeper who came every 2 weeks to clean Mom's house.
Mom had just turned 100 the month earlier. Old school and greatest generation.
WWII Navy veteran and the best person I've ever known.
You can bet that behind the scenes she had a few tongue-in-cheek comments - nothing nasty or mean - just humorous if anything - but always remained kind, generous, and polite to all she met.
As did her housekeeper. Who was a friend to Mom, myself, and the family. Although the family didn't deserve it. And good at what she did and as dependable as the sun coming up in the morning.
She was the daughter Mom never had!
