ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

This newspaper article was saved by my mother. My mother has recently passed away. I was 18 years old when I wrote this article. I am now in my senior years. May God bless my mother! Love, Evelyn Pinto My Mother's Daughter December 22, 2021

Yesterday was a good day! Monica and the 3 oldest of her 5 children came to visit me. It was an enjoyable time being with Monica and Lucia, Joseph and Theresa! I have known these children since Lucia was 3 years old and Joseph was just a baby. I taught these children during the Celebration of the Mass.  I held Theresa and Miriam as newborn babies.

We had a Christmas Party! I brought gifts for my 2 young friends, including pictures that I had shot and edited myself and then had mounted these photos on sp...
