Here are tributes to Mothers from people who read this blog and shared their memories with us. I am so honored.
My heavenly mother was loved by three girls
And none of us had any curls.
…Emma Shipes
Eternal feelings of warmth about my Mom are best expressed  here in a quote from The Little Prince:
“There is a sweetness in the laughter of all the stars…and in the memories of those you love.”
…Joan B. Reid
When doing homework, my mom taught us to always try our best, before asking for help. She also reminded us to  double check our work! Recently, I would’ve been a lot better off if I remembered her advice before submitting completed forms on the Internet. I eventually got it done correctly though. I guess I also learned to never give up! Lol.
… Linda A. Gutheil
This morning at church your Mom came to my mind & I gave thanks to the Lord for the influence she had on my life. She gave me the unconditional love I so desperately needed. She was such a blessing to me.
…Ronnie Smith
I was fortunate to just visit my mother’s birthplace in Germany. It brought me closer to her to stand outside the house she grew up.
…Carol Baldwin
Mom’s come is all sizes and shapes.
Mine was petite and filled with might
To do whatever it took to make things right.
…Sharon Benfield
My mother believed in rising above your challenges. She was raised to work hard and achieve
…Gretchen Griffith
