Of all the years I have thought about writing about my mother I figure now is the time. On behalf of her twelve children, Colleen, Cindy, Mike, Danny, Sharon, Time, Kelly, Sean, Molly, Mickey, Kasie and Corkey, her twenty-six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren Duffy is our one and only.
My Father whom we lost in 2004 to Leukemia and was a local Radio station owner(KFDI) would tell you if he could, that this mother of twelve kept the world turning. Growing up her stern hand and loving heart kept our house together, mouths fed and our home safe and warm. She believed God first, others second and her self always last and that makes for a wonderful mother. My mother has endured many set backs, loosing her son our brother Kelly when he was a very young boy but the strength of her faith and love of her family. She always kept an open heart to the world around her. 2004 she lost the love of her life and partner in this growing family they created but not before spending almost six long years going to cancer treatment with him here and in Houston, but because their retirement wasn’t starting out the way she had planned she again endured and let her faith carry her and again kept her family moving forward slowing down little to ask why. It has been nearly six years since her loss and through Grandchildren and great grandchildren being added she has continued to be the rock of this Lynch Family and the most caring person I know. She has been a scout leader, soccor mom, cheer leader and so much more, and now to so many more generations later added she is still our mother and grandmother of the year.
Well at seventy-eight thinking she will sit back and enjoy the Family she has built over these fifty plus years God has given her a new battle and that one is Cancer and as always with her head held high she is as strong as ever just as she has always been for our family. Her concern shines not for herself but again for the God she so loves and the family around her seems to be the only thing she is thinking of. I can say that she is faith, hope and love and because of Dorothy (Duffy) Lynch my mother and all she has done for this world and continues too we have been blessed. I love you and couldn’t be the person I am today and for that thank you for being the greatest mom I could have ever wished for and this world is a much better place because of youJ
Dorthy Ann Lynch my mom!

Strength is a virtue my mother has been blessed with, and thank goodness for that. Already dealing with her own physical ailments for the past six years, my mom can barely walk from a torn medial meniscus that is not operable, as well as severe arthritis, glaucoma and high blood pressure in the eyes that threaten her with blindness. Unfortunately, in the last six months she has been dealt more incredibly tough cards. My father retired recently and his health has deteriorated so rapidly from diabetes and depression/anxiety that he has withered down to 107lbs! He is in a constant state of need and my mom has to take care of a man who last year was fully capable and now is at the doctors office once a week. However, the hardest thing has been her layoff from work. Even though she is a Civil Service employee her position has been eliminated. Now with no funds and worry of how to pay their heavy medical bills, she is just 1 1/2 years short of earning her retirement.
All this is pretty heavy to deal with for one person at once, and I wish there was more I could do to help such a loving and giving woman. Please help me give my mother some peace and much deserved appreciation this Mother’s day and pick her as a winner of one of these wonderful contests. Thank you!
