A Sad Anniversary

Thursday December 6th will be the 10th anniversary of my mothers passing. I have missed her more this last year than usual because of my pregnancy and Drake's birth. It was really hard not having her around to ask questions, compare pregnancies and just to have her meet the little guy. I was born in early September so I would often think about how similar our pregnancies may have been, at the minimum time wise. I also missed her terribly when Roland and I got married. I knew it would be hard when I found the right guy and when we had children. I know she is around in spirit, but its just not the same.

I miss you mom and I love you whole bunches.

Here is part of her obituary:
Cheryl K. Baye, 49, of North Platte died Dec. 6, 1997, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center at Omaha from complications following bone marrow transplant.

She was born July 24, 1948, at O’Neill.
Mrs. Baye was a graduate of the Methodist School of Nursing in Omaha and received her bachelor of science degree in nursing at Clarkson College. She was a home-health nurse at Great Plains Regional Medical Center.
On Feb. 19, 1971, she married Larry Baye at Omaha.
A member of Signet Chapter 55 Order of the Eastern Star, she was currently serving as Grand Martha.
Survivors include her husband; a daughter, Karen of Lincoln; a son, Ken of North Platte; her parents, Fred and Marilyn Rahn Tesch of Plattsmouth; a sister, Dianne Osler of Lincoln; a brother, Rod Tesch of Phoenix; and their families.
A memorial has been established to the Leukemia Society.


And now for some pictures.


Here is my mother's wedding picture.

My mother in 1975, I would have been 1ish at the time.

My mom and dad, not sure of the year, probably mid to late 80's.

My brothers graduation in 1995. (I look just like her in this picture, lol)

Me, my mom and dad at my grandparents house in the fall of 1994, a few months after I moved away from home to Lincoln.

My mom the same day as the previous pic.


My mother's funeral, December 1997. The beautiful quilt was made by her co-workers. The hearts had messages of hope and my mother loved it. She had it with her in the hospital during her bone marrow transplant. We tried to give the quilt back to them but they wouldn't accept it, so it is with her in the casket.
