Clarissa’s mother Irene Loling Sarabia Lampe berry-picking at SueAnn’s home – My mother protected herself from the blood-sucking mosquitos; she wore two layers of clothing, fingerless gloves (before you could buy them in the store) AND a shower cap! — August 2001<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the most favorite things to be and do with my mother was berry picking…We picked berries almost every August since I can remember filling up our freezers and jars until she was 80 (just 4 years after this photo was taken).\u00a0 2005 was the last year we picked together; she decided that it was risky to be romping around in the forest even though she was very careful.\u00a0 She was avoiding breaking a leg or worse yet, breaking a hip which she warned us to never do since at that age will be the downfall of one’s health.<\/p>\n

For the past three years, Mother’s Day has been a day of both sorrow and joy.\u00a0 Like any of us whose mother’s are one of our best friends for life, I miss her so I have my moments of sorrow; yet, at the same time, I am a mother to three great kids!\u00a0 After our mother’s passing on July 4, 2011, I wrote a blog entry about my Mother; you may read and see more photos of her at:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.clarissarizal.com\/blogblog\/?p=1983<\/a><\/p>\n

I invite you to also read her obituary with historical photos at:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.clarissarizal.com\/blogblog\/?p=2025<\/a>\u00a0 These photos include images of my Grandmother and Grandfather Mary and Juan Sarabia, childhood, etc.<\/p>\n

I have known for a very long time that I am one of the most wealthiest women I know.\u00a0 My definition of\u00a0 wealth is defined by my family, who we are, where we come from, who we be and what we do.\u00a0 I wish you a very a Happy Mother’s Day,…today and always!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
