Here's to my mom.....

.....on this her 84th birthday.Click HERE to read a past tribute.

Here she is with her daughters.....ya gotta love those "simpler" times. She did provide a happy, carefree childhood for all of us.

She was and still is a friend to all. Here are some of her high school and life-long friends: Shirley Judd, Mom, Verlyn Bradshaw and Jeraldine Thompson.

She always had us dressed, our hair done and "picture ready" any time of the day. Joyce and I are not enjoying this but doesn't my mom look great? She loved her Jantzen outfits and wore them well.

She's older now but loves her great grand children....going a little slower, but still provides custard for everyone in the 6th ward and lemon pies for anyone she knows loves them. Ya just gotta let her know that you want one.

Though we make messes and cause chaos, she still enjoys having us around. She has a cake for us every Sunday night. Happy Birthday, Mom....we all love you so.

Happy Birthday, Mom. And thanks, Jillyn, for your great tributes and saying the things that should be said, that I wish I had said and wholeheartedly agree with.
