Dear Mom,
It has been a busy and eventful year. I had the opportunity to provide lots of
different service in the church and in the community. I know that at one time you were a single
sister and Mother. As bishop I had the
opportunity to serve many single sisters of all varieties. In your name I was able to hand deliver a Turkey
and a $50 dollar bill to five deserving families for Thanksgiving. I was also able to prepare and arrange delivery
of Orange wreaths and Chocolates to 25 widows, single sisters, and single
mothers. We also blew a large quantity
of leaves from the yard of an elderly single sister as a family for family home
evening. (94 years old) Throughout the year
I had multiple opportunities to visit and provide Priesthood blessings to
several Ward members in the hospital. I
have also been able to spend numerous hours visiting with and counseling with
single sisters in the Ward. As a side
note, but also in your name I was able to work with three families to help
strengthen their marriages and prevent them thus far from becoming single Mothers/Fathers. During this Christmas holiday I collected and
distributed several hundred dollars worth of gift cards to very grateful
recipients. Each time I have been able
to visit with, serve, or bless one of these women I have thought of you. I have thought of the great Mother that you
are and the sacrifices you have made and continue to make for our family. It has reminded of your great love, humility,
diligence, and faithfulness to the Lord and His gospel. Thank you for all that you have done to raise
me to love and serve others. Thank you
for helping me to gain my own testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for being you and the great example
that you are.
Love,
Scott F. Tucker
