I have sad times and very happy times of my mum! The sad times were when I got Rheumatic Fever just before I started Kindergarten. It scared the hell out of me as I was only I think six at the time! Mum helped me through it as she herself had suffered from the same when she was young! It was not so bad the very next year when I got it again as she was more prepared as was I. My most happy memory was when we used to go swimming and she would sing "Lets all go swimming in the Pool'! I used to laugh as it was to get us moving so we could have a swim either in our old backyard pool or the South Windsor Pool. Mum I am going to miss you terribly as I do Dad and my Brother Perry! You have brought warmth, truth, compassion and love to my life and i thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Lex Michael MakkinkOne of my favourite memory i shared with mum is the time mum was telling me that being a twin to my brother Kevin was that if we were girls mum would have named me Roberta and Kevin would have been called kaylen. I am very fortunate we were boys. I really treaured all the great memories i have engaged with mum her exsistance in my life and i knew all who existed in mum's life have treaaured too.
