I see that the piece was composed by your uncle...

Thank you Rene!

I made this video for her for Mother's day 2 years ago.

As you can immagine it made her very happy...sadly she, now at nearly 91 years, is not doing well...Sad that all lives will eventually go that path...

Hello Beeke: I was very moved with the tribute to your mom. You are lucky that you have such a collection of photos.

What is the music you play?

It is said that those who honor their mother shall live a long and prosperous life (long and prosperous in joy). This was such a touching video and homage to your mother. It appears your mom was able to stay focused on being a mother while the world went crazy with war. Peace
