I was blessed beyond measure by godly parents, especially my mother, who was there at my side in all my life.  I do not know who snapped this picture but there is Mom, a bit out of focus, with  her thick eyeglasses that she wore after her glaucoma op.  I owe this woman more that I can say.  When she went on to glory at age 95 she left me with a model of a godly person.  After all these years, she is still near me in my thoughts and values.  Praise God for my mother, Trella Risch Jacobs.
