- To say “yes, Ma’am” and “no, Ma’am” as an expression of respect, not an indication of age…
- How to sew
- That church was important
- How to make a delicious pound cake
- That good posture was important
- How to sew a garment so that the inside looks almost as good as the outside
- That manners are important, particularly at the dinner table
- How to whistle loudly
- That never saying “I told you so” is mercy in silent action
- That just because you’re the mom doesn’t mean you are always the mediator
- That family is important because everyone doesn’t have what we have
- To be grateful because everyone doesn’t have what we have
- That following Jesus means serving others even when it’s hard, inconvenient, and uncomfortable
- To see people, not colors or culture
- To be strong
- To laugh at myself
- That silent prayers are powerful
- To live with purpose
- To not fear death
- To love
I expect she will continue to teach me still more in her absence ♥♥

Dear Kay,
Thank you for the picture of your mother in her younger years. She definitely had a sparkle about her! Can you imagine her sparkle now? Again, you are honoring your mother, as her teachings inspire others. No doubt she heard, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”
With love, a big hug, tears, & hope, Kris
