I just wanted you to know that I made a pot of sauce the other day. It was totally from scratch, Italian tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano, fresh garlic and onions of course. The meatballs also, hand made to perfection. And yes I would have won the competition (again), had Mom not always played in the middle and not wanting to pick sides. Lol I miss our spaghetti sauce cook offs, amongst many other things about the times we had growing up. I have so many stories to share. It pains me to know that you are gone. We had so many good memories yet to make. Please know that not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Rest in peace my dear Sister. You were loved by many, even those you never had the pleasure of meeting you or getting to know your warm personality. I Love You Dawn ! Merry Christmas...

"Mother" is such a simple word, But to me there’s meaning seldom heard. For everything I am today, My mother’s love showed me the way. I’ll love my mother all my days, For enriching my life in so many ways. She set me straight and then set me free, And that’s what the word "mother" means to me. Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom! By Karl Fuchs
