MAMMA MIA, YOU ARE AMAZING!!

Dear, Mom

I am taking this opportunity to share and express, how much we do LOVE and APPRECIATE you! You. have always been an example to both Jared and I, and now our spouses and children. They are very LUCKY to be able to know you and to have you in their lives, as well as their GRANDMA. I see you as a person who loves everyone and cares about their well being. You have countlessly and selfishly given much to those in need. More importantly, you are AMAZINGLY patient, understanding, giving, and supportive in all things! How did Jared, and I get to be so blessed to be sent to a home with a father and mother who have taught us to be strong individuals, independent, and overall better people each day? Not only raised us in the church and all that the gospel has to offer, but so much more. Mom, and Dad, thank-you for raising us in these teachings, so we could gain our own testimonies. Yes, no matter where we are in life and no matter what we are doing, we can never deny the spirit, and our testimonies that we have, closest to our hearts. Mom, Thank-you, for that and for being an example with living a good life. I marvel at the testimonies you and Dad have.

I could go on and on, listing all the great things about you, mom and how GREAT you are. Both you and Dad have always been there for Jared and I and now our own little families. You have accepted and loved Jared's wife Kellie and the two kids; Christian, and Kaitlyn, and my husband, Brian and our daughter Brilee. We know that there is nothing that you and Dad wouldn't do for us.

We wouldn't trade you for anything in this life. Thank-you Mom.

Love,

All of US
