Favorite Mother’s Day Memories

Clara Dehaven, IL resident

Three children, five grandchildren and six great grandchildren

For Clara, her most memorable Mother’s Day was a surprise trip to the Lake of the Ozarks—one of the many celebrations her children have planned for her over the years.

Leona Rogers, IL Resident

Five children, 12 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren

Leona recalls a very special Mother’s Day toward the end of her career when her husband sent her a dozen roses and each of her children sent separate bouquets—which barely fit on her desk. The arrangement from her kids were extra special because each grandchild was represented by a different color of rose.
