With Mother's Day coming up I thought I'd write a little tribute to my mom, Kathy Sue Barrett. Most people know she is a mother of 10 children, and that alone is amazing enough. But she manages to be a mother of 10 with such an amazing attitude, always loving her children no matter what their faults, and trying to serve her children whenever she can. Mom is always being faithful and positive, and a great example of turning to the Lord in every trial. She has 9 grandchildren and 2 more on the way! She also overcame depression with very limited outside help which is amazing to me. She is also quite a card player! She loves hiking, the outdoors are her favorite place to be. I also admire her determination to go to the temple once a week now that her children are older. I could go on and on about her musical talents! She fostered my love for music and writes songs and sings wonderfully. (She taught a lesson in Relief Society this past week and sang 4 songs she composed, it was very brave and a great way to share the gospel and invite the spirit.) I feel very blessed to have such a valiant and wonderful mother!

That's right eat your hearts out, she's all mine!!!!!! Ok you can come and hear her wonderful lesson on Sunday. Everyone is invited to come. She is the most wonderful person to have with you.
That last comment was by Alan Barrett not by Kathy Sue. Kathy Sue wants to say, Thank you very much to Heather for that beautiful tribute. It's an honor to be your mother.
She also mothers other people's children. Yes, we all love and admire Kathy Sue.
