Our art exhibition entitled "Like Mother" concludes this Sunday and includes “Sentimental Journey” from artist Jennifer Carroll. "My mother is Maxine Billinda Root Carroll. She is an angel-mommy to 7 birth children, 4 adopted children, 13 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and, seriously, a bazillion others who call her “Mom,” “Bo,” and “Grammy.” I suffer from the other half of my genetic material but comfort myself that her sweet blood still runs in my veins. She is a fountain of love and positivity bordering on insanity. If you ever meet her, you will meet your long-lost best friend."
