“Our children make us special. I had a wonderful mother. There isn’t a

day that goes by that I don’t think about her. There are times when

things happen that I wish I could tell her about or things she could

see.”

MARGE NAEVE

“My mom taught us to respect her and that love would follow, and it

did. My mom is always there to support myself and my siblings. She is one

of the most positive people I know. My mom was a single working mom and

still made cookies to put in our lunch. I admire her more than anyone in

the world.”

LYNN ODERMAN

Newport Beach “My mom is always there for me. She has always given

love. She is always there to give of herself. She has been there for all

of us. My mom is my best friend.”

GALE MULLIN

“She was the first health-food cook on Balboa. We grew up on wheat

germ, Vitamin E and yogurt. This was during the 1960s. She was a great

beach mom. She took us surfing at Killer Dana Point, where I excelled as

a youth. She also made me get a job delivering papers for the Daily

Pilot.”

“My wife’s mom was the best mother-in-law anyone could ever have. She

was a wonderful woman and she was very accepting of me.”
