for raising us as children of God...

for teaching us to love of our faith...

for giving us a wonderful home filled with love, even through the toughest times...

for always being there for us..

for taking in all our stray dogs, cats, cows and other various creatures brought home....

for taking in our stray friends who came and never left....

and mostly,

for always setting a good example of how to live,

modeling our lives after the Holy Family.

We LOVE You!
