She loved beautiful stuff. She loves flowers, butterflys, birds, the symphony and ballet. She is a lot of fun and we laugh a lot when we are together. She was born in Foo Chow, China. You may wonder why she was in China when she was born. It is because her parents were missionaries there. My mom and I both wonder how I came out of her because we are so very different. I love water, she is scared to death of it. I lovehorses, she is scared to death of them. I love motorcycles, she is scared of them too. She is a member of Rotary, PEO, the Methodist Church and the Providence Garden Club. My mom is a business woman she ownes and operates Rahn Flower Creations. She is always traveling to some forign country her last stop was Sweden, she has been to Egypt twice.I have only been to the Bahamas, which doesn't seem like an only to me.

When I asked mom what PEO was she said, "It is a secret sisterhood. dedicated to education for women." I never knew what the initials stood for or about the secrets. I saw a personally involved group of spiritually linked women. I experienced how these women served as sisters when my mom died. Immediately there were people available to me. They stayed with me and helped me find clothes to wear. Essentially they held my hand until my family arrived. After that they attractively coordinated the reception that followed mother's memorial service. Mother used to say, "We are here for each other." I can say they were not only there for each other they were there for me too. I can't express how deep my appreciation for this group my mother loved goes. They were her friends. Mother could not have been happy with out them. I am grateful for anyone who enriched her quality of life. Thank you ladies!
