My precious Mom, Jeanenne, was an amazing Mom! She displayed the fruit the spirit as talked about in the Bible in Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control...." I don´t remember anytime where she yelled at me growing up, but always spoke quietly with wisdom. She taught me how to play the piano which I have I played since I was five and was my best friend in many ways. You will be missed Mom!
