Rosemarie Del Pilar (Salas) Stephenson

Yep!  That's her!  My Mother...and today is her birthday.  Mom was born on October 5, 1935. Today she turns 75!

Mom is the youngest of 3 and the only living member of her family today.  Her parents were both born in Mexico, but she was born in the United States and grew up in California.  She joined the church as a young mother of 6 children and then had 2 more.  She has been thru a lot in her lifetime and the gospel of Jesus Christ has helped her lead a life of love, devotion and service to her family and to her Heavenly Father. She served a mission about 10 years ago and today she is serving at the Family History Library as well as in the Salt Lake Temple.  The gospel is everything to her and her family is a legacy to her.

This picture was taken 5 years ago at her 70th birthday party...all of her children...most of her grand children and 2 of her great grandchildren are shown here. 

Mom, thank you for your example and for the many sacrifices you have made to give each of your children a better life.  You truly are a woman of faith, tenderness and love.  Hope you have the best birthday ever!

Love you tons!
