I proudly nominate my daughter, Suzanne Grissom, for Tehachapi 2006 Mother of the Year. She pours her heart and should into being the most excellent mother she can be to her five children. She makes sure that each one truly has a heart for God, love for their fellow man, a strong code of ethics and a zest for life and learning.
Suzanne is a Godly woman with a sunny disposition. She is full of fun, adventure and enthusiasm and at the same time, she is a firm, though kind and patient, disciplinarian and devoted educator. All five of her children are getting rich, well-rounded and in-depth education by being home-schooled by Suzanne. She is also a teacher for Valley Oaks Charter School.
Suzanne has encouraged and made it possible for each her children to follow his or her own path, developing individual talents and interest, which are many and divers. Suzanne always supports seeking out the best situation for each child, sometimes as coach herself with many years in equestrian vaulting and other sports.
Our family has experienced deep sadness this past year with the sudden death of two much-loved family members and it has been a challenge for Suzanne, grieving along with her husband Jim, to make sure that none of the children are silently suffering but that their faith in God is ultimately strengthened.
I believe that each one of her children, Brittany, Lauren, Landon, Allison and Kathryn, knows that their mommy loves them with all her heart and has respect for her strength and wisdom.
