Mary Catherine Zundel Lewis
During my younger years in Achievement Days, I was asked to pick out a scripture to describe my mother so that it could be typed up and made into a magnet. With the help of my sister [I think it was Lindsay], I picked Moroni 7:45 that says:
"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
This describes Mary Kay to a tee. My mom is the most patient person in the world, most long-suffering, least envious, and just all-around most awesome. She puts up with my friends, complaints about my friends, my obsessions, and my less-than-reputable qualities.
Thank you for the Law&Order marathons, political and history education, pictures of my dog while I'm on vacation, shopping trips, pedicures, birthday parties, chicken and broccoli bake, Cutler cookies, Dick's cakes, Creme savers, rides/drives in the BMW, counsel and words of advice, and wonderful example. I'm sorry I'm not there to help celebrate your special day, but I sure do love you and so does the rest of us. Happy Birthday!!!

I second that.
Mom- you are an amazing person and I'm so glad that we have gotten so close, even though we are so far away. I hope you have had a great past year and can look back on it with a feeling of accomplishment. You do so much for EVERYONE and I am continually amazed by your spirit of service. I hope this next year is filled with a little less work and a little more fun. You deserve it. WE LOVE YOU and are SO excited for your visit. See you soon!
Love you so much. Thanks so much for going to Virginia Pearce with me. I think so much of her and to hear her and be there with you was so very special. It was one of those blessings that we call a "tender mercy". She says it all so well. You are very thoughtful!
yeah for mom! WE LOVE YOU! And we love Dick's cakes.
Mmm...Dick's cakes....
