"The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word Mother,' and the most beautiful call is the call of My Mother.'
It is a word full of hope and love, a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart.
The mother is every thing- she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness.
She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy and forgiveness.
One who loses their mother loses a pure soul whom blesses and guards them constantly..
Every thing in nature bespeaks the mother.
And the mother, the prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love..
The word mother is hidden in our hearts, and it comes upon our lips in hours of sorrow and happiness as the perfume comes from the heart of the rose and mingles with clear and cloudy air. (Khalil Gibran)

Robyn (Granny),
You gave us love, hope, strength, happiness.
You truely listened.
Your wine connected people and brought us all together.
May every glass of wine, be an invitation to slow down and savor life's beautiful moments and the beautiful memories of you.
