Memories for Life

More than 37 years ago my mother took a job at a credit union. Little did she know that she would continue her journey there, raise two children while balancing her career, move from part-time teller to assistant Vice President, or one day retire from the same company.

In celebration of those accomplishments, she chose to take our family for a week in San Francisco. We rented a home, toured through Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, and wine country. We biked the Golden Gate, hiked 1000 feet in Muir Woods, and experienced Irish Coffee late at night. We rode the cable cars, hopped bars from Pier 1 to 39, and ate fresh seafood from the bay. Ultimately, we made memories.

We did exactly what mom set out for us to do, which was to build our bond between the six of us, celebrate our family, and have fun. Mom, we are all so appreciative for the opportunity provided... and we are so proud of you, the years you put in, and the family you built. Thank you for letting us celebrate with you. Happy retirement!
