A woman in a red Santa-style hooded sweatshirt and white gloves sits beside a man in a full Santa suit holding sleigh bells, in a living room with a lit Christmas tree and city lights outside the window.

She was my mom

Santa and (not) Mrs. Claus, December 2015 This was one of Tracy's grad school parties that Rich & Jo joined. A week before Christmas 2015, here's Mom in a red Santa-hooded sweatshirt and white gloves, sitting beside a man in a full Santa suit with a strap of sleigh bells. It was a December evening in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, with a little lit Christmas tree in the corner and the city lights out the window.

When: December 18, 2015; as they remembered it

Mom at our wedding On our wedding day, June 24, 2017, Mom wore a blue-and-purple floral lace dress, her pearls and a little bunch of purple flowers. Here she is laughing out loud on a garden bench in the afternoon, standing for the family portrait, and still out by the string lights that evening. Her friend Lynne Float was there celebrating with her. With: Mom, Lynne Float
