"Our mother promoted education and preservation of the environment. She enjoyed teaching and strived to create a learning environment that would benefit her children and those she taught in school. Her pride in education is carried on from the influence of her parents, and she still encourages others to pursue their goals in life."
"You are special, loved, and wonderful. We want to honor the important women in our lives. You are a good mother and we cherish your love and accomplishments."
Our love,
Kris and Craig
