This page is a TRIBUTE and a GIFT to my mother,
Jerrye
Franks-Smith.
The above picture was created by me especially for her as it contains
a few of her FAVORITE things.

My mother allready knows how SPECIAL I think she is, but
I still try to remember to do special things for her and
tell her how
much I LOVE her and NEED her in my life.

My mother is a SPECIAL LADY, and I think the
BEST MOM
in the world!!!  She is beautiful, both inside and out.
Always a warm,
caring, generous and loving lady.

She never fails to support all I do, but yet, has a gentle way of
reminding me to look at things from lots of
different perspectives to be sure I am making the
best choices for me.

She has LOVED me unendingly even with all
my mistakes and bad decisions.  She has never judged, only
loved me the best she could no matter what.

She has always had a shoulder available for me to cry on and
soft arms to give me a hug and never failed to tell me she loves me.
She always shows me too!!!

She has always been on my side, even when I was wrong
and then later helped me to figure out how I could
have done better.  She guards me with the fearlessness
of a mother protecting her cubs but gives me the freedom to
find out who I am and to let me be me.

I thank God that he let my mom be my MOTHER and I hope
that I have made her proud of me as I am most certainly
PROUD of her!!!

Today  I am what I am  BECAUSE of my mom.  If not for the
values she instilled in me and the determination she
fostered within me to succeed I would not be the woman
I am today.
I am happy mom, and I THANK-YOU for that.

So MOM, this is your day, and I hope it is WONDERFUL!!!
I will be thinking of you across the 900 miles that separate us
and wishing I was there with you to give you
HUGS and KISSES.
I wish I could tell you all day what you mean to me and do
nice things for you, but since I am not I will send my
KISSES

to you in this page and hold you in my
HEART forever more.

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

How Much I Love You I Can't Say

How much I love you I can't say:
It's more than words can hold.
You're all at once my rich, red clay,
My potter and my mold.
Yours the words that shaped my voice,
The spirit within mine.
Yours the will that shaped my choice,
My fortune, and my sign.

How lucky I was to have had you
At the core of me!
Wise and good, you always knew
Just what I could be.

And so I came to be someone
Whom I could be proud of.
For this I give my swollen sum
Of gratitude and love.
