... Mom always spoke fondly of her days at Midland Lutheran College (as she knew it) ... my sister and I were thrilled to be able to donate these items to Midland University Alumni. We didn't know that Mom acted but here is evidence ... The Solid Gold Cadillac!

... happy birthday, Mom. I know you know this, but I just have to tell you what a spectacular woman Marika is ... her career is taking off, she is married to the sweetest man, and she has the most perfect little boy. I see so much of you in him ... his gestures, his expressions ... and best of all is watching Marika with him. She is so patient and I love how she listens to him, just like you always did to us. I can't even imagine what it was like raising two of us. I especially get this now as Griffin races around and tells me "no" ... and I don't even do this full time. Thank you seems so inadequate, but ... thank you.
In honor of this special birthday, Mo and I went out for a wonderful dinner and toasted you with fancy cocktails. We shared stories about you and laughed ... and cried. I keep thinking it will get easier, the missing you, but not so much. I do still feel you with me ... in fact, this plant that I thought for sure was a dud bloomed today, and I thought "Mom did that!" ... and it made me smile.
Love,
Kachina

... so strange to be here without you, Mom. Marika Sian and I thought you would appreciate the placement of this chair, outside the dining hall ... missing you. Looking forward to a week of classes and memories ... we know how much you loved Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and are honored to be working toward the goal of establishing a scholarship in your name ...

... she's "majic" ... we knew that. We also know Mom would have appreciated that spelling!

... creating an environment in which you felt free to experiment, but had to act like "ladies & gentlemen"!

... no one ever wanted to disappoint her. Ever.

... like any good teacher, Mom knew the importance of having students reflect on their experiences. These comments are priceless ...
