Thanks for your wonderful response........my mom, lived and worked on a small farm, where we were reared, four children (3 boys, 1 girl), took care of her siblings when she was growing up, took care of my grandfather and grandmother, worked on the farm, drove tractor, built haystacks, milked a couple to three cows, then prepared meals......cooked great Sunday "dinners" where the siblings of my dad came to share....in other words, she was the hardest worker you would ever hope to meet....but, loved going to church and singing in the choir(which she was able to do after the passing of the grandparents).....had a fourth grade education, but wrote enough poems to fill a book (I still have them all the way she wrote them).......always ready to help anyone she could.....was, also, a den mother for a local Girl Scout Troop. A book could probably be written about her. She always felt like her life was "rewarding" and everyone that met her loved her immediately.
