A Tribute to a Wonderful Mother!

I just want our mom to know how much she means to our family!! She has had many trials in her life, but she has never faultered. She has faced her challenges with dignity,. She is a wonderful example of love and charity. I remember as a child thinking how cool it was that our mom would play hopscotch, and jump rope with us. She has always tried to show love to her children and grand children. For many years she would sew Christmas pajamas for all of them. It certainly wasn't easy but it was a labor of love. We all enjoy the countless parties that she throws. These are the things that we will remember forever. I know that our dad is so proud of his sweetheart. I know I can speak for everyone when I say Happy Mother's day Mom... We love you !!

What a legacy.
