Here is the entry for the winning mom as it was received.
Tell us why your mother should be Memphis' Favorite Mom?: Dear Pugh's Flowers, There is one special lady living here in the Memphis area. She has given love, and a good home to over 63 foster children, not to mention her other 4 children, over the years. Many of those she fostered have been adopted by loving families in the area. She continues to keep up with them, and will often have the children over to spend time on weekends. She can even tell you their birthdates, how much they weighed at birth, and their measurements too. She's an amazing woman! She continues to have a relationship with many of the women and children who have come through her home. There is one family in the inner city that she has mentored for many years. She began as the foster parent for this family's triplets, then worked with the young mother to help her raise her triplets and provide for them. She continues to buy clothes, food, school supplies, and other items to help this young mother get through tough times.
There is so much I could share about my favorite Memphis Mom - - she's kind, compassionate, caring, loving, Christ-honoring, hard working. She is a mentor to many young women, teenagers, minister's wives and others in our community. She is JANE NASON. I hope that you will consider her Memphis' Favorite Mom, as she certainly deserves such title, and would never expect to be given such recognition.
Thanks to all the participants over the Mid-South area who shared their special mom with Pugh's! |
