They nurture like no other. They define unconditional love. They are our beacons of light and hope, and also the quiet strength through which we are fueled.
They’re our moms, our best friends, the grandest smiles in our worlds, and the leading ladies in our lives. Happy Mother’s Day to all Kosciusko County moms from LAKElife Magazine. And a special thanks to all readers who submitted a note for their mom—whether she’s far away, Above, or just across the lake.
Happy Mother’s Day to my mother-in-law, Phyllis. Here she is celebrating her birthday last summer on Lake Wawasee. Love her family! Love, Laurel
1962, when I was nine months old, my parents got a place at Dewart Lake. When my Dad passed away in 1993, Mom vowed to keep it going for her 5 children and grandchildren. In 2019, at the age of 89, Mom decided it was time and my husband and I purchased it from her. We are continuing the tradition with our children and grandchildren. Thank you Mom, Donna Yentes, for keeping the lake place going for us all. We are very blessed to call you Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma! We Love you! —Tami and Eric Overman and family
Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mother! We’ll drink to our legs! Love, Bekah
Dear Mom (Becky Hartman),
My mother, Barbara, raised 13 children. She was the heart, soul, and foundation of our family. My parents were hard working + didn’t have much, but my mom taught us to share what we had + that family was everything! Also she gave us all her wonderful sense of humor. She would have loved to see the sunsets on Sechrist Lake!! —Lucia
