My Mother, Laverne

Lady Laverne, loving mother and friend A strong-willed, hard working woman Victorious over her life's struggles Earnings were scant but she managed well Raising three kids on her own was tough Nevertheless she never gave up Eliciting the eternal love and gratitude of her children 3/21/15 For Tammy Reams Acrostic on Mother's Day contest

Such a wonderfully descriptive piece and beautiful tribute to your Mother. It's a shame the later generations such as mine lost that can do anything attitude and nature. God Bless your Mother and I said a little prayer to the Blessed Mother for her. Take care Kim.
