Happy Birthday Mom! I have always loved this picture. It is a picture of a picture so the quality is not very good. You are so beautiful and happy. It reminds me of the many times I would come home from school and laundry would be freshly folded on the kitchen table and the smell of warm bread was coming from the kitchen. You did everything for your children. Even when you had to go back to work, you continued to be SUPER Mom. Seven children, the first four of us one year apart, I am amazed how truly talented you are. Now that I am a Mother of five children, I appreciate what you did even more. Many summers Dad was gone to scout camp or on high school students on tours of Europe, or building homes for an extra income. You would take care of us filling the void and doing it all. I know how tired I am at the end of the day, and you taught sewing classes in the upstairs room of Baron's Fabrics. Many nights I would go to class with you. I was sewing my own clothes by the fourth grade because you taught me. I love that you passed that down to us. It is becoming a lost art and I'm glad my Mother taught me. Sewing was such a small part of what you taught us. You taught us compassion, selflessness, love and inner beauty. You are truly a remarkable woman. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you.

What a wonderful Birthday. As a Mom you try hard and it so wonderful to have such a tribute. Thank you. Where did you find that picture. Wish I had spent more time at the piano. Our ward here in Costa Rica has to use a recorder to play the hymns. My birthday was wonderful and I got to talk to all of our seven. Well Avarie substituted for her Mom. Cate was here for my birthday so that was a fun surprise. How blessed I am. I feel very loved. Mom
