Craig, Rodney, Teri and Patty,
It's hard to believe it's already been 6 years since your precious Momma passed away, and 10 years since we lost our Mommas. Time doesn't seem to ease the pain of losing our Mothers, does it? I just took flowers to my Mom on November 1st, her 10 year birthday in Heaven. Very often, I find myself telling someone, "My Mother-in-Law always said ..." or "My Mother always said ..." which is one way we keep them alive in our hearts forever. A Mother's love is forever in our hearts and minds. We miss Grandpa and Grandma Trump "in the green house" too. What a blessing to be part of such a wonderful family. May the Lord bless each one of you this Thanksgiving, and may you always be thankful for being blessed with a loving Mother.
Love you all,
Steven & Georgie
