My Mother

I was thinking a lot about my mother in the temple.  About her influence on me and my influence on Lynda Ann.   

The influence of my mother is really beyond words.  So hard to describe the way one person has impacted me in such a way that it has shaped my whole life.  I wonder if I will have the same impact on my girls and granddaughters as my mother has had on me.  I loved our chats around the kitchen table.  Her thoughts about life hereafter, forgiveness and such.  she was faithful, strong and valiant.  Her example and teachings are always with me.  I love her and miss her.
