Mrs. Joan Cochran

I have a lot of memories of my mother. I was the last one to leave home. I definately was not the last child to live with her. But being the youngest of eight, I am often overlooked. I am not the baby of the family, just the youngest. My mother was such an interesting person to know. She was a collage of different gifts and talents. From her cooking, to her volunteering, to her unique way of thinking. My mother chaperoned a group of girls from Mt St Mary's when we would ride the bus for 2 1/2 hours to go to a dance at Subiaco Academy. She always had a good time. She brought me my first box of Demet's Turtles after my first daughter (Gabrielle) was born. I was in UAMS and she was in the VA next door. She came across the sky bridge to bring it to me. I didnot enjoy having to reset her atomic clock or reprogram her remote because she lost her other one and bought a new one. But, that's mom. I know she is resting easy now. Love you mom!
