Happy Birthday To Our Mom
MRS. MARY JONES October 15th
Words on paper cannot tell it all, and it’s never enough to express our love for a Mom who is ‘sho-nuf’ Tuff.
We have watched you over the years en- dure and prevail. Nothing that came your way...stroke, ap- basta, weakness of limbs, was able to take the wind out of your Sail!
You inspire us! You encourage us! You motivate us! Your will to strive, survive and live reflects the Glory of God and we thank Him for giving us YOU as our Mom and Granny, and for being our “Queen of Dress Code.”
Your loving daugh- ters, son and all the grands.
