Memories of Mom: A Recorded Audio Conversation to Commemorate the December 9 Birthday of the Late Dana Anderson
My sister and I decided to record audio of a conversation we had on the eve of our late mother’s birthday.
Our mom, Dana Kepley Anderson, died July 9, 2021. She would’ve turned 65 on December 9, 2022.
I tend to be big on birthdays, and I suppose my younger sister, Katy, and I both have reckoned with grief enough in the 17 months we’ve had to work through the loss that we felt up to commemorate the occasion and honor her by reminiscing on some of our best memories of ma.
You can listen to the lightly edited embedded audio of our not-quite 20-minute phone conversation below the image featuring a photo of mom prepared back in July 2021 by Assalley Funeral Homes in Greenville, Illinois. (You’re also welcome to read the obituary posted by the funeral home and/or to check out the video slideshow of still photos of the late Dana Anderson embedded at the bottom of that obit.)
