I am sincerely sorry for your loss, my friend - a loss I've experienced as well. And my wish for a gentle crossing for your mother. 
hear this.
She sounds like an amazing woman. May she rest in peace. 
I know what you mean about the pizza. I have the same sort of thing for both my parents - when I do certain things they always pop into my mind to keep me company.

Sorry about the jerk Cali.
Talk about pissing on your mother's grave. Beyond the pale.
It's the only way I ever eat Pizza at home, too. I'll be sure to remember this heartwarming anecdote when making the next one.
She sounds like a remarkable woman. Thank you for sharing her with us in your lovely post.
Condolences.
Your mother sounds like an amazing woman, and I can almost taste that pizza. Peace and strength to you and yours.
Your mother sounds like she was an amazing woman.
The pain will gradually ease. I have a jar that my mother used for sugar. I use it for my coffee sugar. She died in 2007 from Alzheimer's.
Your mother sounds like she was very intelligent, interesting and a thoroughly good lady. I'm sure she will be very missed.
Thank you for sharing your memories. That was a beautifully written tribute to your mother.
TYY
Sounds like she was a wonderful, inspiring woman.
Your mom sounds like an incredible woman.
It's nice you have such good memories of her. Memories are how we keep those we've lost alive in our hearts.
till she was a least 95. I lost my Mother from Alzheimer's ('88-'92). She was 92 when she died. But as far as I'm concerned...she might as well have died
in '88. I was her total caregiver for all those years, but I hate to say it (bless her) having Alzheimer disease makes it easier to lose one's Mother. There I said it...something I've never admitted or expressed before. Shame on me! But I think my Mother would understand. She knows I know she was the best Mother in the whole world and I dearly loved her. Not having to go through that heartache if she had died in her prime was almost worth having the experience of her living with Alzheimer.
Enjoy making and eating your Mother's Pizza and may she RIP.
Peace to her and the rest of your family!
Thank you for sharing!
Wishing peace and strength for you and all your family.
94 is a long time to live. Sounds like she was having a blast until the end.
RIP
May she R.I.P.
And it's "the gift that keeps on giving," for sure. It stays with you through all kinds of occasions and reasonings and emotions and memories. Mine passed in late 2006. And it STILL takes its toll.
My Mother died thirty years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her.
May she rest peacefully, and may her name be remembered for a blessing.
...to what sounds like a fascinating woman. Thank you for that posting. Sending you warm vibes.
Sadly I had a troubled relationship with my mother who died ten years ago at 97. I have to work hard sometimes to bring back happy memories. Keep making pizza and she will always be with you.
I am so very sorry, Cali.
She sounded like an amazing person to know.
I wish I could have eaten one of her homemade pizzas -- sounds delicious & thin pizza crust is how I like it.
What a beautiful post in her memory.
My heart to yours.
May all the good memories you have of your Mom bring you comfort.
She did leave behind one kickass daughter though!
Take Care.
I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm so glad you had her for as long as you did. I only had my mother for eight years. I have snippets of memory that I hold on to for dear life. Speaking of food, she used to make homemade potato chips. I quit long ago when I sliced a goodly piece of finger with a potato slice.
I've often wondered if I would have treasured her so, if we had had a lifetime together. I would like to think your story would be my story. That said, the end of the story, long or short, is so heartbreaking. I doubt the ides of March will ever be a favorite for you but then, you wouldn't be alone in that, at least.
As I said at the beginning, I am so sorry for your loss and it clearly was a huge loss. May your grief pass in time, leaving these kind of memories behind.
You mom sounds like an amazing woman.
to an extraordinary lady. Condolences to you on the loss of your beloved mother. No doubt she passed along many of her wonderful attribute to you.
Now a lot of us will think of your mother also when we make pizza, as a reminder to live life to the fullest.
Absolutely beautiful tribute.
I'm also going to try her recipe, sounds delicious. My avatar is in memory of my dad, who raised bees as a hobby.
