A TRIBUTE TO MY MOM

Just Like Mom

Just like mom, I raised my children to be good citizens instead of the dreaded “little hellions” she sometimes feared hers would become. Like her, I disciplined, directed, corrected and trained them. I gave it my all. Just ask them, they’ll tell you!

After I married, Mom respected the adult I had become and no longer corrected me. She treated me like a valued close friend and her input was supportive. She never meddled. She was a wise woman who set a good example. Now that my children are married, I hope to continue to be just like my mom!
