Dear Tim (and family),
I'm so sorry to learn that your mother and grandmother passed away. Your mom, and grandmother was very special to me and hundreds of other "kids". As I reflect back, she truly was the woman that you pray your kids run in to in life; and one to fine lady to model yourself after. She was firm, a "no crap" kind of lady who loved each and every one of us, even when we didn't always love ourselves. She was patient and kind, accepting of everyone with all our warts, blemishes, and sassy mouths. As a mature woman, I still respect and believe she was a very fine lady.
Tim, I'm so sorry I didn't take the opportunity at the Volunteer Muskegon event to ask about her. I had a million questions but our time was so limited, and my niece was antsy & somewhat annoying with her questions. You were (& still are) a wonderful son with many, many of your mothers' fine qualities. She always expressed her love for you [a job made easy with a son like you]. You made her very proud.
Take care as you heal and grieve one terrific mother, and friend. Adonica##imported-begin##Adonica Kunnen ##imported-end##
