Joyce Haacke...My Mom!
I just want to take a minute to write something about my mom for Mother's Day. The occasion for Mother's Day is extraordinary to all of us. It's a time to love, kiss, and hug the most precious creation--our mom!!!! 
I want my mom to know that I love her so much. That I appreciated knowing that her arms were always open when I needed a hug. That her heart understood when I needed a friend. That her eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. And her strength and love has guided me through my life. I think we are all greatly influenced by our mothers. I know that my mom remains a great source of inspiration for all of us. I think we all grow better in SUNSHINE & LOVE!
My mom is the most splendid woman I have ever known. I have met many people in my life,but none who are more refined than her. All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to my mother. She is my friend, my confidante, my cooking companion, my fellow bargain shopper, and my biggest fan. I am so thankful to have her in my life, she deserves the highest honor that I can give.
I love you mom!!!!!
