John

Mom,

Thank you for all your love. There's never been a better Mom and I am truly blessed. You have always been there me and my family.

You have a way of setting me straight and showing me the light. You knew when to apply tough love and when to be sympathetic. You should have been a psychologist (just kidding). I owe you everything.

I miss you and Nancy, Carrie and Polly and I wish you a very Happy 80th Birthday.
