Today would have been Jeff's mom's 72nd birthday. There is not a day in our lives that go by that she isn't missed.This April she will have been gone for 4 years. With her gone, we are so grateful for our knowledge that we will be with her again someday. It is this knowledge that comforts and helps as our family has milestones that she is not here for. In the time she has been gone, her last 2 grandchildren have been born. What I wouldn't give for her to have been around for her to know them and see them grow.
There have also been grandchildren that have served and returned from missions, gotten married, graduated from college, and there are also now 9 great grandchildren.
She was an excellent example of a wife, mother, and grandmother. We will be forever thankful for the influence she has had on our entire family. We are truly blessed to have her in our family.

Happy Birthday Oma!
Fun pictures, the first one is my favorite. She was such a wonderful woman!!
These are awesome pictures. We love Mom and miss her every day. It's hard to believe she would be 72 because she was always so young. She continues to influence her children and grandchildren. Thanks for a great post Jeff and Valerie.
Thanks Jeff and Val. Today has been a pretty rough day. I miss mom everyday and I am so grateful for her influence as well!
