be celebrated 3^5 days a year. One day is
completely insufficient to remember one
who has done so much for all of us, 1 have
thought a thousand thoughts of yoU| Mama -
a day never passes that something you have
said or done does not come into my mind
and heart. You have played such an impor
tant part in my life - the greatest part
of all, I expect - but then mothers always
do, and tha t is as it should be.
I regard you with wonder, always.
Mama, and marvel at your unusual capability 1
I cannot figure out (especially now that
I am a mother) how you ever found the time
(and courage) to bring up nine of us; and
teach eadi of us individually about God,
and love, and kindness, and beauty, and
unselfishness, and all the lovely little
things of life that form the background
for fine character and ma ke for happy
living.
You gave so much of yo\irself, Mama.
I am sure that the reason you were able to
teach us so well was because you lived your
instructions daily and set a perfect exam-
^le before us.

You provided our food but you gave
us something more* So much, much more#
You educated us, not iaerely along the
lines of books - you taught us to laueh.
(And to cry when the time came for it),
and you taught us how to appreciate the
bounty of beauty that was ours, in the
hills, that surround us*
You taught us that it is more blessed
to give than to receive. You gave every
day of your life, and you*re still at itll
I can hear you saying, ”0h yes, I like
the back - the back has always been my
favorite piece*” so that we could have
^11 the good pieces of chicken* Not much
meat on the back, Maraai Such a little
thing but exemplary of the way you have
been throughout your life.
You taught us about morals, and
wholesome living and how to find pleasure
at home with one another and to be grate
ful for our blessings. You taught us to
be reverent and to remember always that
without God our lives are “like the chaff
which the wind bloweth away.” Remember
your quoting that ever so many times, aiKi
many more lines from the Bible.
I remember once, a long time ago,
when I thought that I was far too pretty
to be bothered with Peg tagging ilong
with me, you said to me, "The Bible says,
*and he who is last shall be first, and
he who is first shall be last*; and it
frightened me so that I settled myself
in a hurry. I had visions of Peg in the
foreground and myself tagging along be
hind, and being the oldest, I coTaldn*t
bear that.
Too, you taught us that ”to err is
human, to forgive - diivine.” That alone.
Mama has helped me in so many ways down
through the years. I have found that by
forgiving, I Immediately becane the vic
tor. As you have a^-wajrs said, it tgkes
a big person to say "I*m sorry," and
forgive another. I am so grateful for
all your wonderful words of wisdom. Not
only did you teach us all the fundamental
and wonderful things concerning life, but
in the meantime you managed to make a
delightfully happy home for us. To this
day the thought of "going home" is still
the greatest thing imaginable to me, I
enjoy remembering the happy times that we
