Barbara Michelman wrote this love letter to her mother Dorthea after she died at 89. Barbara said, \u201cMy mom was not one for public displays of emotion, she would have hated me crying at her own service. So, I didn\u2019t read this at her funeral. Instead I stood in front of my church family and cried while reading it.\u201d Barbara\u2019s letter is a beautiful tribute to her hard-working, no-fuss mom who had grit and love to spare.\n\n \n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
