"Why not make her path grow brighter By a kind word now and then? Why not make the burden lighter? Tell her how good she has been! When she's gone, 'twill be too late To express your love sincere, Let her know how much you love her- Why not thank her while she's here?" "This is the last stanza of the poem, "A Living Mother" by Dorothy (Yokum) Purtle which is posted to the Attala County web site. It can be found here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~msattala/alivingmother.html With Thanksgiving coming soon I thought I would take a moment to remind those that are fortunate enough to have a living mother that Thanksgiving would be a good time to let her know how much she is appreciated. Don't wait for "when she's gone, 'twill be too late." Everette Carr
