Today I want to pay tribute to an amazing lady; I have to do it this way because circumstances are such that I am not able to be with her to celebrate her 80^th birthday. This lady is Kay Rouillard and she is Mag’s Mom. I have only known her for about three years but a more marked antithesis of all that is said about mothers in law could not be found! I did not have the privilege of meeting her husband, Maggie’s father, as she lost him more that twenty years ago, but I have had the joy of beginning to get to know, not just her but the wonderful family that reflect the character she has modeled for them. From the first time I met her, although it was clear that I was hoping to take her precious daughter to live in San Francisco, she was the epitome of warmth and kindness. She has welcomed me into her home, whether or not Mags was with me, with the same love and care. Kay, your daughter is the greatest wife imaginable and I know that much of this is a consequence of the example you set for her to follow. I hope you have a really wonderful birthday and are able to receive the love and honor from your family that you so richly deserve.
