Mama

Andre's Mama turns 60 today. What a wonderful way to start off each new year, with a birthday! Mama is such a special lady and I am honored to have her as my Mama now too. She always displays grace, humor and kindness, no matter what is thrown her way (and lots has been through the years, not always pleasant) and is so loving to all she comes into contact with. We love you Mama and wish you a wonderful year ahead!
