January 2015 "Bernice Cole", my mother, my cheerleader,my inspiration passed on to a better life.
The feeling is indescribable and often unbearable,one i cannot describe and often try to repress.
Batavia is my mother & family,it's where my identity in life was formed,without her my emotions are mixed.
She & my father moved us to this town away from the repression of the "south" and the raw life of the bigger cites(Buffalo&Rochester) of where most our extended family resided. It was often nice to visit,but it was not the serenity Batavia provided.
My mother had many friends and a community that loved her as we did.
My heart weeps for her,but when i come to Batavia I will always know she is there and I know that I'm home.
Mom, know that i miss you & love very much!
Michael.......
