Happy Birthday Granma Dunlap - 85th Birthday


I love Mom because


She is so easily pleased by anything that is done for her


She took such good care of me as a little girl


She taught me how to keep a beautiful home


She made me want to be a Mom because she so loved being a Mom


She made holidays fun and we had so many fun birthday parties


She understood the value of a new dress or new shoes and rejoiced in shopping with her girls


She was a classroom volunteer when we were little


She was a great cook and as I have had 30 + years of daily cooking, I appreciate even more the amazing job she did in having a great meal on the table every night


She loved animals and so we got to see puppies born and love those puppies


She was loving and not at all harsh...


She believed in me and in my abilities


She was happy and wanted me to be happy


She is a wonderful granma and the kids have loved their two week visits to her and Dad


She has always taken such good care of herself and of her appearance. We loved having a pretty mother


She was a great mom to have when friends were over....she liked our friends and they felt it and liked to be at our house


She loves to laugh


She loves to hear good news


She rejoices in the happiness of her family


She appreciates every kindness done for her


She is dear in every way in my life and I am so glad that she is MY MOM!!!

I like Grandma because

She loves her family and I can tell by watching her that being around them brings her joy

She always has a smile and a hug for me when I see her

She is supportive of her husband--she not only moved from Boston to California to be with him, but then she moved to Hawaii for 20+ years! Grandma is adventurous!

She always looks nice, and dresses really nice

She keeps us informed about what is going in with the rest of the family...it is great to hear about Naima, Charlie and Sam from her.

She is a great listener.

She loves phone calls and Skype calls

I love hearing all of the great stories her children tell about her...they only have good things to say.

If someone's children are a representation of their parents and upbringing, and I think they are, it is easy to see that Grandma Dunlap is a wonderful woman because she has three great children and chose a great husband as well. I love and respect all of the Dunlaps!

Happy Birthday Grandma!
