One Life.

One life...

became a beautiful daughter who was the pride and joy of her parents.
became a wife who made a promise over 25 years ago to love no matter what and has kept that promise.
became an owner/VP/office manager/accountant/errand girl for a construction company that has built and rebuilt places for families to live, that has grown and prospered for generations and even built a church.
became a mother of two daughters that challenge her at every turn but in the end have turned out pretty good (hehehe).
became a woman of such great faith that she has been a deputy, chair, president, committee member, coordinator, volunteer, cook and every other title you can think of for her church and for the entire Missouri Episcopal Diocese.
became a grandmother passing on all the wonderful traditions and memories of the previous generations.
became the matriarch of a family that is growing so fast that we can barely keep up.

One life has been lived to the fullest and changes the lives of everyone she meets.

Happy Birthday Mom! Thank you for the previous (insert number of years here!) years that you have lived with such amazing heart. I am blessed to be a small part.

Hope you had a great birthday!!!
Love you.
