Goodbye Mom

I will miss her forever. She was the best mom, always encouraged, knew how to get someone to do something (“how hard would it be?”), and would do anything for her family - even battle when she just wanted to go to Jesus. The hole she leaves is unfillable.

Lessons from Mom

• Don’t judge anyone.

• Help when you can - when they ask for volunteers - that means you!

• Never pass up an opportunity for adventure.

• Save room for dessert, but you can share!

• Save the toilet paper rolls - you never know who's going to need them.

• Cleaning can wait until tomorrow.

• When you get stuck to the kitchen floor, it might be time to wash it.

• Life isn’t fair and we are lucky it isn’t.

• Share your talents & you will get way more in return.

• Make sure your kids know they are your priority.

• Be generous.

• A lot can get done in “20 minutes”.

• Stand up straight.

• Be grateful - say thank you & send the thank you card.

• Be careful not to say your children would “never” do something, it only ensures they will!

• Be careful of the big trucks on the roads, they will win.

• Eat your potatoes and bread last.

• You’ll never regret being kind.

• At least it was a good game (even if it was a loss).

• A nice drive is never a waste of time.

• Don’t plan anything during play (used to be spring) season.

• You don’t need a big piece of chocolate, just a little piece.

• A boy will tell you anything to get what he wants.(And they only want 1 thing.)

• If you don’t use your brain you’ll have to use your feet. (Mom said this is from Granny Ed)
