Our Mother taught us up-standing values and principles such as honesty and decency as well as to accept all people (depending on their character) regardless of race or ethnic background. She always told me, "They are God's children the same as we are". I have been blessed many times over due to this sage advice! She could barely read or wright and yet she was a very wise woman and she will be missed terribly.
