Nancie

She is our Mom!
She has so many talents and is always looking for more (she can garden, cook, sew, paint, decorate, etc)
She loves life and lives it to the fullest
She will do anything for her family (even let my cat live with her for several months when we could not find a place to live that would allow pets)...thanks Mom!
She is not afraid to cry for any reason (she is crying as she reads this!)
She always has a smile (even when she is crying)
She is a strong independent person who is not afraid to follow her dreams
She gave me the freedom to become my own person.
She made us pancakes for breakfast almost every Saturday morning
She would let me "run away" when I needed or wanted to but yet always knew where to find me when it was time to come home.

Jim
Because mom always thinks my ideas are good
she lets us learn for ourselves
she is always there when she is needed
because mom's Potato salad is awesome
because Cooper loves Grandma Clark
because her faith is unwavering
Because she serves the Lord and others without a second thought.
Because mom always loves us even if we don't deserve it.
