What can I say about my Mom... well, the first thing that I think about is that she was my best friend. She was so wise and helpful when I needed her and always knew the perfect thing to say. She was also full of fun and entertainment and could put a smile on anyone's face. She had a contageous laugh and a twinkle in her eye and was just a joy to be around. So many times while growing up I remember being stopped by people I didn't even know and having them tell me how lucky I was to have such a wonderful mother and how she had helped them in their life. This was a great legacy for me. I remember how tears of joy poured down her face in church when she sang, "I Believe in Christ" and knowing that she had a testimony of our Savior. I remember her fun stories and her silly songs that she would sing to wake us up in the morning, I remember sorting socks with her, canning, gardening, pic-nics in the canyon, her love of the outdoors, and her love of her family. She was always proud of her parents and where she came from and taught us to be the same. I miss her greatly. It has been 16 years since she passed on and I would do almost anything to be able to talk to her again now and hear her delightful stories and just be in her warm presence. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Here is a clip from her obituary that I found online:

She was born April 16, 1938, to Benjamin Orlo and Doritt Harvey Brough in Kaysville, Utah.

Daela, seeing this made me miss you. Wish you were still around. I haven't been dreaming as much about you since you've been gone:)
I remember your mom and her smiling face! She always seemed to have a smile. I have thought about her quite a few times since living here. Hey, and it's melodrama time! Even though I was pretty young when I was around your mom I remember how talented she was and I remember the smell of homemade bread at your house. I'm grateful for memories of those we love!
Your mom as being so talented! I can't think of Black and White days and the melodrama without her! it's so appropriate to pay tribute to her this weekend!
