Happy Mother's Day Karen!


Jennifer and Michelle made Karen a special breakfast -- crepe omelette and rolls -- yummy!



To celebrate Mother's day -- we went to Ten Ten Restaurant in Cerritos.


Inside the restaurant, Kayla showed us her "new face".


We went back to the house to take group pictures around some "silk-flowers" Karen bought for the occasion. This is my Mom -- never seen her smile so much.


The "Lee" side.


The "mothers"


Grandma with her grandchildren.


The entire group (minus Gary).


Finally, a last combination -- my sister "Yogi" and her husband Gary with my Mom.



The "girls" gave Karen a wonderful gift -- a photo album of friends and family. We had a good time looking it over.


It took a little while for Karen's cousin Sylvia to lay her mother to rest. She finally decided to place her ashes here, where Karen's sister Shirley is also buried. Karen and I finally had the opportunity to visit.


Aunt Mercy has a nice view!


"Beautiful Spirit"


Karen shows everyone where Aunt Mercy rests.


An "Angel of Hope" watches over the area.


While we were here, Karen wanted to bring some flowers to her sister's grave site.


Here, Karen says a little prayer for her sister.


In memory of Karen's sister Shirley
