Happy Mother's Day

In honor of our beautiful mother I'd like to do a little spotlight on her. Not everyone is blessed with such a wonderful mother as I have been. My mother is and always has been my best friend. She's the kind of mother that would do anything for anyone, especially me. Ever since I can remember, my mother has always given service to anyone and everyone. I have so many memories of her going to others and helping them out in whatever way they needed help. She was always taking in food, giving them rides to places, teaching, or whatever was needed.

My mom has always taught me to do what's right. She's lived the gospel and been the perfect example for me. She's always serving in the church in one capacity or another. She has had many callings of leadership and has had many callings as a teacher. She served for many years as the Relief Society president and counselor in serveral wards. She served as stake primary president for years in Las Vegas as well. One of her most favorite things to do is work in the temple. She attends serveral times each week. Mom has served on several missions which she's enjoyed as well.
Mom has always been a wonderful mom but she's also been a favorite grandma to lots and lots of grandchildren and great grandchildren. She's been the one in the family to bring unity and togetherness by planning fun family reunions, and just paying attention and remembering all her family individually.
Mom also has been a wonderful sister to lots of brothers and sisters as well. Mom is the one in the family who remembers our ancestors and tries to make sure all the temple work is done and histories are written.

When her birthday comes around it's easy to see the affect she's had on others because she gets so many birthday cards from friends and family. Her friends tell me often how much they love my mother.

We want you to know mom that you all loved by all. We hope you have a Happy Mother's Day.
