We would do anything for her . . .





... because she has done everything for us.

This past Saturday (March 15th), a couple of us met at a local restaurant to celebrate Mom’s birthday. We had a great time eating too much food and singing “Happy Birthday, Patria” with an accordion accompanist. We sat at three different tables because they couldn’t find a table for a party of 28.

Mom cried tears of joy when she saw Carlos, Tito, Tony, & Ray (with their loved ones) and she cried from laughing too much when we tried to take this picture.

Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Lancaster’s Shady Maple. This list is too long to mention so next time, just plan of being there.

Thanks for posting this Tom. We all had a great time. I especially liked it when the accordion player came around and Patty's table was singing Aye, aye, aye, aye...

and of course when he played happy birthday and all of us gathered around Mama's table to sing to her. What a great memory!

We'll have to photoshop Rosi into the picture. :)

Yeah, we love it when others see the beautiful angel that our mother truly is!

Thanks to everyone who took the trip to Lancaster to celebrate mom’s birthday with us.

She was very touched.
