My mom, baby sister and me, February 1967

I’m so thankful for my mother.  She’s always been a constant source of love, support and encouragement.  Several words come to mind when I think of my mom: intelligent, caring, honest, talented, thoughtful, attractive and dependable.  Throughout the seasons of my life, mom has always been there for me.
