To a wonderful Mother who graciously and generously gave with all her heart.  You strived for perfection and were modest at heart.  You did for others without asking for recognition.  You were your happiest watching others at Christmas open gifts with excitement and creating memories with your beautiful cakes.  You were grateful for everything in life for you know how much every minute is worth.  You loved watching the birds, squirrels and rabbits playing in your backyard.  Thank you for being such a great person.

Mom loved to plant gardens and flowers and would tell me that the weeds were the Chinamans head and if we pulled the Chinamans   head we would pull him from from China.   Amazing how you can trick kids into doing something useful and fun.
