Lifestyle Letter
Here's to Strong Women
M
ay in Michigan brings the real feel of the arrival of spring to Rochester Hills. The second Sunday of May each year brings the arrival of Mother’s Day with it’s countless reminders, reflections and guiding examples of strong women who have shaped the lives of their children and grandchildren, and enriched the lives of others in our community.
My mother, Sherry Feldman has been a strong and devoted parent to my sister and me for over 45 years. She is a grandmother who cherishes every opportunity to nurture and spoil her four wonderful grandchildren. She is also a retired school teacher of over 1,000 Rochester Hills students for 28 years at Brooklands Elementary. It’s a good bet many readers or readers’ children had my mother as their elementary school teacher.
