Reason #1: You have ALWAYS put family first! You provided us kids with a home where we felt loved, safe, and free to be who we wanted to be.

Reason #2: It is because of you that I have such a great love for children, especially babies. There is nothing better then snuggling up with a newborn baby. I'm glad I had baby siblings that I could tote around the house.

They have been a bit hectic for you, but I have great memories of all of our family outings and vacations.Reason #8: You are our #1 fan. You came to my basketball games, no matter how boring they might have been. I think us kids succeeded in turning you into a sports fanatic!Reason #9: You are so strong!
