My second Mom! I was very fortunate to have been able to live with them during a couple of my teenage years. She was always there for me, a shoulder to cry on, always encouraging myself to believe in me. We shared many many talks. I remember Ma and Dad agreed to let us have a welcome home party for my ex when he got out of boot camp, it was supposed to only be about 20 people. Over 100 people showed up, people we didn’t even know from towns all around, they just heard there was a party. The police showed up, Dad took care of it and Ma said Tracey get rid of everyone you don’t know. So one of our friends walked around me with me and told people to leave its a private party, no one would mess with Brian, he was a big guy, needless to say the night was a success and they didn’t get mad at me. Another rule was if you were not home by 11, the door was locked and they would not open it. Sandy and I were about 30 minutes late, they wouldn’t open the door, we ended up sleeping in the shed! LOL. Every year I would send them a Christmas card to “Ma and Dad” Craveiro, well about 4 years ago, I forgot to wish “Ma and Dad” a Merry Christmas, I just signed it, Merry Christmas etc. A few days later I got my card from her and she said “What no Ma and Dad” in the card! She was not happy about that. I called and we talked on the phone and I told her she would always be my other Mother. I pray right now she will always be right beside Dad, and all her kids and grandkids. Her family was the most important thing to her and her love was endless. RIP Ma, I miss you so much and I until we meet again someday, have a Miller Lite waiting for me so we can sit and talk again. Love you so much Tracey
