Thank you, mom, for gift of love and patience
Mom (Betty Clements),
Recently you were asked, what makes a good mom? You shared with us quite a few things, but love and patience stuck out the most. With patience being an awesome quality you carry, we often wonder, “Wow! How does she do it?”
With that being said, it has always been a goal of ours to be just like Mom! You are our rock in so many ways. We are intrigued by your patience: It is a gift you carry. Your deep care and love for us is felt with every phone call of, “How are you, baby?”
Words couldn’t possibly express how grateful we are to have been blessed with such an awesome mom! You’re especially nurturing, loving and giving. You’ve held and comforted us through all our trials and have been a friend at all times. Your laid-back approach to life has taught us to just shrug it off and not always take things so seriously. You have an inspiring boldness that compliments your humor and works like a magnet attracting people to you.
We definitely inherited our strong will from you; for when you decide you’re going to do something, nothing can stop you. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better mom, You’re simply the best! You have all of what it takes to be a good mom, and we hit the jackpot when we got you! You’re irreplaceable.
We love you so much! Thank you for being you!
Love, your daughters,
Rhonda, Ashley, and Melissa

Mom was one of a kind
When I was growing up our house was always filled with cheerful laughter and lots of love. No matter what time of the year it was, Mom always made me happy.
Every year on my birthday she would make me a cake, banana nut with whipped cream was my favorite.
Mom made Christmas special. She would make her famous fruitcake and lots of sugar cookies. Somehow Santa always knew what I wanted for Christmas. Thank you, Mom, for all your loving ways.
In the family album of the heart I have this everlasting memory of my mom. She was one of a kind.

Family thankful for loving mother
Our mother, Lois Bezilla, was the most kind, caring, thoughtful, unselfish mother in the whole wide world. She loved each and every one of us. She taught her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren right from wrong. Even when we thought we knew everything, she would not give up teaching us. Her heart was big as the moon, she would forgive us all when we did wrong, and somehow love us at the same time. It takes a special mother to do these things, and we all were so fortunate to have her as our mother.
Our hearts are broken, but mending very slowly. We all love you, mama, and miss you so much. As our Uncle Tom would say, bye for now.

A dear mother
There is a very special bond between a child and their mother
That transcends time and distance which is truly like no other
God gives to us a dear mother who is there to love and to guide
A precious loving being who is always on your side.
Our God created mothers for he knew right from the start
That every little one is in need of a mother with a loving, caring heart.
From the very first moment she held her precious one so dear
Not time nor space could ever erase her loving heart that draws them near.
Every child that God gives to us is a blessing from our father above
It is a mother’s charge in life to teach them of his perfect love.
The moment she held that little one and all the years that have gone by
They’re filled with precious memories that at times will make her cry
She has nurtured and cared for them as only a mother can
And we thank our loving God for her
That she was part of his plan.
May God always shower you with joy and happiness
With his blessings from above
For being the wonderful mother that you are
That you are so deserving of.
No matter what stage in life or heartaches that come her way
You have the heart of a dear mother that will never fade away
A dear mother is a special treasure to behold
Her kind and gentle spirit will never grow old.
May God always bless a dear mother!

Happy Mother’s Day
You know who you are?
You’ll always be a mother
Whether near or afar
We nurture, we love them
Right from the start.
Our children are special
It begins in our heart.
Now, I’m going to say this
It is very true
We don’t always like them
But love them we do.
This mother thing isn’t
Wrapped up in a day.
It really is a feeling
That won’t go away.
Now, you might be a mom
To a dog or a cat,
That’s just as special
And that’s a fact.
Our hats are now off
To you we do a toast
To moms everywhere
You are the most!
