That’s What Love Is
Wipe her tears away, and hold her hand, Let her know right or wrong you’ll always understand, Be there to guide her if she would go astray. Stand by her, and be a friend,
Be the one who’s always there when other friendships end.
Be her pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, That’s what love is.
She knows that you can’t swim across the ocean, Or bring her the moonlight from the sky, She knows that you never could move a mountain But if she asks you to you would try.
Hold her close until she sleeps, Try to listen to her patiently every time she speaks. That’s what love is.
Be with her on Christmas when Champagne bottles pop, Dance with her on New Year’s Eve until the music stops. It’s a treat for a special few,
When you’re in love with her and she’s in love with you.

In Celebration of Women’s History Month
To my mother, Eunice Mathis (right), who is 99 years old. My mother is wonderful. She loves all her children. Mom taught us how to cook, sew, paint and draw. Eunice cared about what we ate and kept us all healthy. Mom took us to explore our community and the world. As she is unable to walk now, we are there for her, like she was there for us. I will never forget when I was sick, she always made homemade chicken and dumpling soup, which tasted so good. She put her love in it. Mom is a giving woman, kind and loving person. Everyone should have her for their mother.
Grace Hopkins (left) is not here with us today, but boy, she was a great mother to Samuel Hopkins and Vanessa Hopkins. She taught us independence, and how to drive and cook. She had a kind, loving and strong personality. Grace was an RN and served in the Army Nursing Corp. I, her son Samuel Hopkins, miss her today.
Doreen Mathis Hopkins (right) came from strong women. Doreen was inspired by her family and learned how to knit, sew, make rugs, and paint and draw. She raised two sons with help. She is a loving mother, wife, aunt, daughter and sister. Doreen Mathis was a former educator and taught in the Department of Education and the Board of Education and went to the College of New Rochelle. We are so happy that she is still here with us in our lives today.

Subsequent Presidents continued to proclaim a National Women’s History Week in March until 1987 when Congress passed Public Law 100-9, designating March as Women’s History Month. The National Women’s History Alliance designates a yearly theme for Women’s History Month. The 2023 theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.” This theme recognizes women, past and present, who have been active in all forms of media and storytelling including print, radio, TV, stage, screen, blogs, podcasts, news and social media.
