Happy Mother’s Day!
Let’s celebrate Moms and Mom-figures in our lives this weekend. Write the card, and let her know you appreciate her. Buy the flowers, and watch her smile light up. Give the spa treatment, and let her relax.
But most importantly, let her know what she means to you, whether she raised you, influenced you, or is raising your children. What we do without Moms and Mom-figures in our lives?
Here’s to some special mothers at Nussbaum. We’re sharing our moms and some notes of appreciation.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Larry Redwine
“This is my mom – she raised us. My dad had cancer and died when I was three.”
Paige Wood
“I look to my mom for just about everything, and she never fails to help me out. I’ve inherited her blonde hair, clumsiness, and love to make people laugh. She’s taught me to work hard, stand up for myself, and know that a sun-shiney day is made for an open sunroof and classic rock. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!”
Chris Coleman
Chris’ wife Chanell and their son Jeremiah Coleman.
Lisa Burton
“My mom is amazing. She is bursting with love and liveliness, so much so, the pandemic put a wrench in her hugging career! She’ll come back full force, no doubt. Seriously, my mom is super fun, kind, and dedicated to Christ. She owns her own business, and it definitely keeps her young. She often declares in her heavy French accent while raising a fist, ‘I will not get old!’ Slays me. Even though she’s French, I call her Momita. Don’t ask me why, I really don’t know – I just like it. In this photo, she is with my oldest. Momita has been a second mother to my girls, and they are extremely close. They think the world of her, and so do I.”
Paul Jones
“This is my mother, Patty Swider. She has stood with me through my life’s journey. She gave me the strength that I needed to pursue my goals in life. Without her I would not be the man I am today. I would like to say thanks, Mom, for being all you can be. I love you very much. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.”
Crystal Baldwin
“This is my beautiful Mom, Roxanne (and daughter, Jenna), on Mother’s Day 2013. She was a very strong woman who raised me, along with my dad, to be able to take care of myself always and instilled very positive values in my life. We were very close and I miss them both dearly.”
Bill Wettstein
“Mom has many gifts, two of them are making cookies and leaving smiles in her path. After talking to Mom, the other person usually leaves with a smile on their face. She came to work one day to see me. I was busy for a minute so she waited for me in the breakroom. When I found her, she was telling jokes to Matt Cheever and Brian Cannon such as, ‘Do you know what the snail said when he rode on the turtle’s back? Wheeeee!’”
Michaela Mogged
“Happy Mother’s Day to the most loving, selfless, encouraging, hardworking, and organized person I know. Thank you for all that you do for our family and for being the best mom and grandma we could ask for.”
Michael Osborn
“Hardworking, kind, self-sacrificing. My mother Valerie embodies these virtues perfectly. She raised me while working full-time and going to college. Now she is working on her master’s degree and somehow still finds time to be an amazing mother. Happy Mother’s Day!”
Mark Stalter
“My wife’s name is Ashleigh and she is the mother of our three kiddos, Gavin (14), Ella (11), and Easton (7). She has been nothing short of an unbelievable mommy, teacher, and Christ-like example to our kids all while being an amazing wife, friend, daughter, aunt, neighbor, and all the other hats she wears.
So thankful for her love, friendship, support, stability, and partnership as we walk through life together, although it feels like a sprint at times. We have a lot of fun!”
Gary Woolard
“My mother Edna Rose and my beautiful wife Pauline for 41 years. Happy Mother’s Day to you both that I love and cherish.”
Mark Pedigo
“Amber Pedigo is the mother of our 3 kiddos, and I don’t know how she does it! She’s special to us because she puts all of us before herself, which words can’t describe how much that means to us, even though we don’t tell her enough. I can promise our lives would come to a screeching halt without her. We love you and a shoutout to all moms out there, you all deserve much more than a day of recognition.”
Jerey Harper II
“My mother was married twice and divorced twice. So growing up, she was both a motherly and fatherly figure for me. I guess I will have to say that sometimes we might not have gotten along the best, with me being of the male gender. I definitely do not fault her now that I’m older and understand.
She did the best with what she had raising my three sisters and I, especially for being a single mother. The photo is the last time I saw and spent time with my mother when she was alive. She passed away November 16, 2004. I like to think she is looking down on me and watching over me and proud of who I’ve become.”
Maya Hodel
“My mom: I have been so blessed by my mom. She not only gave me physical life, but she breathes life and truth into me every day by her encouragement and example. She is my biggest cheerleader and always encourages me to pursue my dreams. She is a woman after God’s own heart, and I have never seen anyone pour so much love and passion into the people around them like my mom does. Not only do I admire her for being an amazing mom and wife, but she really is one of my very best friends. She makes me laugh hard and she hugs me tight when I’m crying or sad. She helps me calm down and gives me perspective when I’m angry or frustrated. I could cry tears of joy and never stop talking about how wonderful she is. I can’t imagine my life without her.
My Mother-In-Law: If there was a jackpot for mother-in-laws, I hit it! My mother-in-law is truly like a second mom. I used to pray for my future husband and future family all the time and when the time came to meet his family, I was blown away by her. She raised a good, strong man because she is an example of an exceptional, Christ-like woman. She is kind, caring, and beyond generous – I really couldn’t be more thankful for her. She’s a dedicated mom to all her kids and she pushes them to be the best people they can be. I could go on and on about her too. I am so blessed by her. I can’t put it into words.
Both of our moms add so much value to our lives. They’re always willing to help out, always want to spend time with us, and always there for us in prayer. We could not ask for two better humans to have raised us, counseled us, and seen us through our lives together. I only hope that I could become half the woman that these two are!”
