We have 6 grandchildren with one in college, another just graduated from High School this year.. Our family stays close and thank God for them everyday. My husband was diagnosed with Cancer in January a rare and very aggressive thyroid tumor that metastasized into his lung ...never smoked! We have fought this beast and so far Tom is clear for now...we celebrated our 57th Anniversary in September. For now l will simply wish anyone from past years my best...l really pray your lives have been as full as you could make them and Gods blessings on you. My newest title by the way since l was recently ordained as a Christian Minister means my children and grandchildren delight in calling me...Reverand Mother... They are the light of my life!
