As children, we can't comprehend or fully realize the meaning of our Mother's love, how tender and how wise, the patience and forgiveness that are part of every day. The unexpected "little things" she did in her own way. Years go by before we call all look back on life and see through older eyes an wiser hearts her love and loyalty to each of us, an yet it's these and other special things we will all miss and hold so very dear. The memories of Mom and her steadfast love will keep her ever near to all of us. Love, Your Children
