It is our amazing, incredible, extraordinary, wonderful, lovely, sweet, thoughtful, Godly, servant-minded mom's birthday today!! Words can't describe how thankful we all are to be her kids and have her as our role model. I know she has blessed all of your lives with her love, care, encouragement and thoughtfulness. She loves the Lord with all her heart and that is evident in how she lives each day. We love you so very much, Mommy, and hope this next year is full of many blessings and much joy in the Lord! Happy Birthday!
You are beautiful on the inside and out!
Your love for each of your kids is incredible! You sacrifice so much for us and care so deeply!
Your Proverbs 31 spirit and Christ-likeness keeps our family going in the right direction! :)
We love you SOOOO much!
Happy birthday Mrs. Bowes!!! :)
