My mother is the biggest influence in my life. She has taught me so many things from loyalty to patience. She always taught me, not always through words, how to laugh and have a good time, to appreciate what you have and to love those around you.

She is devoted to being what the Lord wants her to be, and is willing to take risks in order to get there. She has been through many tough times and has proved to be a strong woman that is not afraid to show some vulnerability in order to grow and learn. She is honest and true, loyal and fun. Her laugh is also very contagious and her smile lights up her face and the room.

She is always welcoming and warm to my friends. She has a love for dogs and for her family, especially her kids. I remember when we were kids she treated my brother and I fairly while still making us feel special and loved. ( I was always her favorite secretly!) It took much patience to raise myself and my brother and she had it.

She has a beautiful voice and I always love listening to her sing. She is responsible for introducing music into my life noting it’s importance; for which I an eternally grateful for music is my life now. We have also learned patience together and that God will never give you what you can’t handle and whatever you need will always be provided for you as long as you are open to recieve it. If I ever need help I know to just ask and if I know what I want I need to pursue it immediately. These things I have learned from my Mom. Parents always say that they want a better life for their kids and this was also true for my mom. Even while making ends meet by herself as a single mom through her kids’ teen years she perservered and conquered, with a smile and a hug on the other side.

My Mom is the best and I love her and everyone around her would agree that she is a joy and is a great friend and mother. Did I mention she is fun?!

My Mom is 98 years old. She and my Dad raised 5 kids. She lost my Dad in 1988, but remained steadfast. Her children all love her very much. She was a breast cancer survivor. Now she suffers from Alzheimers, and still lives in the same home in Wichita since 1957. I believe she deserves this award, as it would make her very happy to be recognzed. She gets so happy when she sees her children, and has the sweetest smile.

My mom works 3 jobs, and works VERY hard at each of them.
She takes care of me and makes sure I have everything I need. She is very loving and friendly. Everyone likes to be around her and i think she deserves this, because she through her example she has made me a better person.

The reason that my mother is so amazig is because: She raised 2 sons on her own.Worked 3 jobs in the past. She has also raised help other childeren, had 3 knee surgeries, 2 carporl tunnel surgeries and then a kidney stone removed surgerically and the most rescent surgery was her major surgery of fusion of L-4 and L-5 lumbar. She is just so amazing. She has her good and bad days just like any other but over all, she has been there for us and others and just keeps going like the enegizer bunny even when she is is major pain. She has been put through alot lately and she still finds time for others more than herself. She is really and truely amazing mother. We love her so much. She has been divorced for 17 years and she takes care of others before number #1 which is herself. Moms aren’t supposed to get sick. She has and is their for all of in need of sickness and health. She’s very special. We love her very much. Please nominate our mother. Thank you.

believe that Kathy is a wonderful mom! She has raised four boys and has been there for them for anything they need. She is my mother in law and does so much for me and my family. She visits us frequently even though we live a couple hours away and is always surprising us with gifts that are very thoughtful. I just want to say thank you to such a wonderful mother in law who is always looking out for her family!
