I don't really remember much about our housemother, she was very nice but stayed in the background and was very low key. My husband's housemother, on the other hand, I knew very well. She always called the guys "my men", and she was about 5 feet tall and 90 lbs. soaking wet, always perfect coiffed and dressed to the nines. She was adorable and sweet and doted on the guys, and they treated her like a queen. She was a young widow whose children were just a little older than my husband (mid 40's now), and I believe she was a housemom for about 10 years.
She passed away from cancer a couple of years ago, but up until that point she sent us a Christmas card every year, wrote a personal note with updates she had from other alums, etc. She remarried, traveled the world, doted on her grandchildren but never forgot "her men". She always signed her cards...Love, Mom W.
