Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - A Tribute to Your Mother

Image
Randy Seaver of Genea-musing has a new challenge for us this week. For this week's mission we were challenged to: 1)  This is Mother's Day weekend, and I have been thinking about my mother - the family times, the hard times, the wonderful times. 2)  For SNGF this week, write a tribute to your mother.  It can be any length.  What do you remember about her, and what did you learn from her? 3)  Share your tribute or memories in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this post, or on Facebook or other social media.  Please leave a comment on this post if you post something elsewhere.
