Happy Mother's Day To Evie Amundson

LAKE FOREST-LAKE BLUFF, IL — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the woman who raised them.

With Mother's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across the state to share their mother-daughter and mother-son photos. Happy Mother's Day!

Kari Lee Amundson submitted the following for mom Evie Amundson:

Why she is special: My mother was a Divorced mother in Lake Forest in 1968. She never thought she would be divorced with 3 daughters needing full attention. Our mother was Strong, Devoted, Selfless, Loyal & Gracious. She always put our needs before hers. She went through many trials & her great faith in Jesus carried her through many dark days. I celebrate my mother for all her attributes & steadfastness as our parent. We were taught manners, culture, nature, reading, and being a good person &putting Jesus first.

Message: Mom, I celebrate you & all the sacrifices you made to keep us safe, educated, and passionate about life & others. Our world would never be the same without your influence & love. Much love, and Kari
