Mom,
Dad has turned over the responsibility for our annual recognition to the family, and I (Lori), being the oldest by nine minutes, have been given the honor this year. Mom, There’s not a day goes by that I don’t remember a moment we’ve shared, even if it was me being rebellious. Last week, I stopped to get Dad and I lunch; Long John Silvers was my choice. All I could remember was all the Long John Silvers’ lunches we shared, not to mention the late night bologna and tomato sandwiches we enjoyed together. Mom, the memories are endless and so is the love I feel for you each & every day.
Love,
Lori and Family.
