She didn't write any famous novels but she did write and follow her own manuscript on being a loving wife and mother. A best seller by our accounts. She didn't paint any famous portraits but she did help sketch the backgrounds and show the principles of design for each of her children to make their own masterpieces. She didn't compose any famous melodies but there was always music and melodies of love surrounding her and her family. Not everyone can be a creator but we can all be appreciators. And we, her family, appreciate her and all that she has done.
