My mom was a trooper through out her life. An inner resolve that defied circumstances that came from a deep Faith in God. She always taught us the value of life and living. When we were growing up she took in foster babies in the small town we lived in. having six children of her own she never thought twice about helping someone else thru difficult times. In one instance there were two twin girls that came to our home for a short stay. They had been abused by their mother it was heartbreaking. Years later after we moved to Salt Lake City I happen to befriend two girls living with their grandmother. After a long conversation we discovered how life had come full circle. Mom had an amazing conversation with the grandmother and the two girls. My mom was not perfect by any means but instilled in her children that reaching out is doing what God has asked us to do. " Love one another as I have loved you"
