Mothers Day is always something special for me, but this year is extra special.  My Mom turned 86 years of age just days ago and my lovely daughters are entering adulthood because their special Mom (and my wife) Jane gave them the nurturing and support only a mother can provide.

My Mom raised all 6 of us and I have no idea how she did it, but somehow she did. My siblings and I are fortunate she did.  We are so lucky to have her with us now in such good health,

My wife Jane has done what all good mothers do – provide an example to our daughters on how to live their lives.  I am so proud of Allison and Mary for being college graduates and becoming such outstanding adults, and their mother Jane had a lot to do with it.

Today is Mothers Day and we all should honor our moms in a special way.  I want to give special thanks to my Mom and my wife Jane as the mother of our children.  It is a special day of celebration for me.
