Paying homage to those women who gave us life

Editor Note: In honor of Mother's Day 2023, some of the staff here at the Daily Record share glimpses and thoughts of our Moms.

A tribute to my Mom, Pamela Gravis Celeste Cook

Growing up, when people asked my Mom what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would answer, “A Mom.” She was a gifted musician and a top-notch event planner (aka The Boss of Us), but that answer came first. She wanted to be a Mom. Perhaps that accounts for why she’s such a natural at it and why — no matter what — she is the Mom of every group.
