My mama’s eyes - the first thing I saw in this bright world and is still the first thing I think of when I think of her. She shares her soul with others through her eyes, so soft, so caring. Through the years I’ve seen then change from big, round to small and bright but always smiling. The cheerful brightness went away as she witnessed her own mother’s death but has slowly returned with the joy and birth of each grandchild and greatgrand child. She is always there just a phone call away and frequently will show up on your doorstep when there is anything “important” happening in your house. At 79 she drove here by herself just this last Friday to be with me at the zoo as I was a finalist in naming the new restaurant. She feels even some of the smallest things are memory makers. My mama is getting older and I understand each day is precious - just as she is precious to all those that know and love her. My mama’s eyes are a direct link to her heart - and they are both beautiful. Diane Roberts

Marcelyn spends many hours thinking how she can make her family’’s life better. This includes many cards and letters encouraging them. Each and every holiday is like Christmas from a gift perspective. She is also a very Godly person with a personal relationship with the Lord.
What a Lady!!

my mother is a very special person in a lot of ways. first of all she works fulltime outside of the home to provide the things that i need in every day life. she spends her spare time in running me to and from places that i need to be at. she provides and prepares excellent meals. my most favorite is her home cooked lasanga it is really superb! she also helped me to become an eagle scout and she goes camping with the boy scouts and me. this last summer she went with me to summer camp that takes a very special mother to do that. she will always be dear to my heart forever and ever. thank mom i love you so very much. your son chris

I grew up being rasied by my father then at 19 years old I got pregnant and married to a man who had a wonderful mother. During this time her husband was in the hospital for having a brain anurism and her daughter was just getting over cancer. She was there to take me clothes shopping when I got too fat for my old ones. She was there whenever I called crying that I was scared. She split her time between her sick husband and everyone else who needed her and was the one person I looked up too. I nominate her because she is the greatest lady that I have ever known.
