Alice Benedict Radez

To many people 7/11 is a special day of the year. To me it’s special as my mom’s Birthday. With 7/11 approaching this week I’ve been thinking about my mom quite a bit. The past few months with out her have been quite an adjustment. In particular, it’s been hard to watch my son grow up so fast having never really known her. Through the pain of letting go I’ve also enjoyed plenty of wonderful memories. I wanted to do something in her honor for her birthday and this blog seem to be something that everyone could benefit from. What better day to launch it than on her Birthday.

I have 2 purposes with creating this blog.
1. To honor my Mother with memories from all who loved her.
I know since this past November I have had memories that I have enjoyed. I know others have to. Here is a place we can all share them. All you need to do is register and I’ll grant you permissions to post to this blog. When you have a memory that you’d like to share just post it here and everyone will be able to reminisce with you the wonderful woman that she was. If you’ve never used a wordpress blog before I’ll have a more detailed “how to contribute to this blog” page up soon with links to tutorials or how tos or something of the sort so you that you can jump right in with sharing your memories.

2. To bring support to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
I will link to their site and try to set up a donations link. Mom was a long time supporter of finding a cure for MS. So lets carry on supporting the MS Society to bring hope to those who are fighting the same battle she did. She brought joy and hope to people around her despite the battle she fought. As a tribute to her let’s generate support for an organization trying to overcome MS for everyone.

I hope you’ll join me in contributing to this memorial. I don’t know that mom ever had an email address, though I believe that many who remember her today would enjoy an opportunity to share a story that brings them a smile when they remember Alice Benedict Radez.
