My Mom has been gone for many years, but I carry her memory with me always. The skinny little girl from a poor Okie family who grew up to be my Mom, Lorraine Strader.
To my Mother-in-law Pazquela Hernandez Gutierrez known to everyone as Patty. I was blessed with the best Mother-in-law in the world. Wherever we lived she came to visit us, be it Texas, Colorado, Georgia or Germany. We became very close, closer than I was with my own Mom.

| Here she is with our daughter. She came to see us in Germany and we took her to Spain where her family was from. To my Sister-in-law Laura, who though hurting herself (bad shoulder) takes such good care of Mac's brother George. |
To Isabel Mac's 86 year old cousin who still travels the world, she is an inspiration to us all.
Happy Mother's Day one and all
