Ashley's Inspired by her Mom

I could go on and on all day about this woman. If there are angels walking the earth, she is one of them. I had no idea growing up how lucky I was to have her. Now as I grow into the role as a mother myself, I see how incredibly patient, loving, and kind she is. She has a happiness inside of her that can never be crushed. She is always anxiously engaged in doing good. When she walks into a room, she lights it with her countenance. I would be proud to be like her someday. I feel so much joy to think that she could actually be my mommy. Yes, she still plays the mommy role in my life. Growing up, I needed a little more coddling than most kids. I was shy, and quiet. But when I think back to those days, there was always a beacon of love that was there to lift me. My mom. She gave me the tools I would need to become a confident young woman.

 
Becky is inspired by her Grandma 

I have the fondest memories of my grandma.  Ever since I was little I have looked up to her.  I always told myself, when i grow up I want to be just like Grandma!  She lived only a few minutes away from us while I was growing up.  I was able to see the countless good deeds and services she provided for those families in our town. Sometimes it was small acts of service like dropping of a loaf of bread or a bag of oranges on their door step and running.   Sometimes it was dropping of Christmas presents to a family we knew needed it.    She is always thinking of others and it made us kids excited to serve with her.   I don't think Grandma ever stops serving from sun up to sun down.  She is always giving us grand kids 'lectures' about being nice to everyone at school and finding those kids that don't have friends and to reach out to them.   Even today she will mail her grand kids little newsletters with quotes and inspiring stories!  She is ALWAYS smiling and making someones day brighter.  What an amazing women! I still strive to be just like her:)
