Our mom taught us to dream, learn and try, with our feet on the ground and sights on the sky. Whose caring and love have been there from the start so strong yet so gentle, and always a part of that which means most in our lives and our hearts. Who showed us the value of living each day in a loving unselfish, and generous way. Whose more special to us as each day goes by. Thank you Mom...
