It is now April 29, 2013 and time to go back somewhat.  It has been awhile since last post.  Sad to say that my Mom, Eloise Andries Vance, passed away at the age of 88 on October 16, 2011.  She was a terrific Mom and great lady.  She raised my sister (Linda Jarrell) and me by herself since my dad left us when I was 2 years old.  He met his "new" wife in a bar.  They both died several years ago.  He was also 88 when he died.  Anyway, my Mom had been having some sort of seizures and had maybe 3 or 4 before she died.  We thought they were over with but she passed away suddenly on that Sunday.  It was certainly appropriate for her that it was on a Sunday, since she loved her Catholic religion and loved church and singing in the choir.  She sang in St. Rita's choir for about 50 years, probably longer than any other member.  I will write more about her and her life later.
