Mama and the Bishop's Chair

Mom came to stay with us for a few months in California after Dad passed away. We really enjoyed having her with us, and I think she shared more family stories at that time than before.

We visited the then newly-opened Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels more than once. Because she experienced some difficulty in walking, the staff provided a wheel chair for her.

Son delighted in pushing her through the tour. When we went up to the altar, and there was no sign to forbid it, Mom decided she wanted to sit on the Bishop’s Chair. Mom was barely five feet tall, and she looks even smaller sitting here. Mom always had a great sense of humor.
