nt to say Happy Mother's Day to all of the 
mothers that I love. First of course is my mom, Mildred, who was my best friend as well as my mother. There are sure a lot of times that I would still just like to just sit down, hang out, and visit with her for a while. I want to tell my newest mom, June Davis that I love her too. She's a really great lady and I will always be thankful to her for raising such a wonderful son. I am grateful to Margurite Kirk for being my mom as well as my friend, and to Joyce Dahl for being my other mother for more than 50 years. I, of course, need to mention my grandmothers who I thought were truly wonderful.
Then I need to mention beautiful daughters. I need to pause here and say that I don't use the terms step daughters, or daughter's in law....they are all my daughters. Alyssa, Alayna, Jeri, Jenni, Melissa, Sally, Carol, Emily, Necha and Charlotte. All but Jenni are already mothers, and they are an inspiration to me as I watch them raise our grandchildren.
I wasn't blessed with sisters; but I sure inherited some great ones. Happy Mother's Day to Linda, Mary, Maureen and Julia. I also want to tell all of my nieces how much I love them! I want to say Happy Mother's Day to some very special female friends; especially Tyra P. and Jenni T.
To each of you, I express my love, gratitude and thanks. You are amazing women. Thanks for being part of my life!
