You kids chose a beautiful picture to display in your Mom's obituary! It reflects so much about your Mother. Every time I EVER saw her, she was smiling and bragging about her children. Every one of you children who suffered through third grade with me (and you know who you are), gave off those pleasant "vibes" instilled in your home. Your clothes were clean, your hair was fixed,your minds were wide open for everything they could soak up. That all didn't happen BY ACCIDENT, you know. I loved you all then and I love you now. I KNOW you will miss your dear Mother. Just remember though, that in a blink of an eye, we will all be together. God IS good, isn't He? I will be thinking of you in the next few days. XOXOXO
