Renee Denham: You have helped my newborn niece immensely

We asked readers to tell us what they love about their moms. Kids from 17 to well over 70 entered The Herald’s Mother’s Day contest. The winner received a $100 gift card to Renee’s Contemporary Clothing in Everett. But there were many other heartfelt stories. You can find all of them here.

Mom: Renee Denham, Marysville

My mom is special because she has helped my younger sister with her newborn child for the past year and a half and continues to diligently. She has had to switch to part-time work so that she can help watch and raise my little niece. My mom has helped out immensely financially and set up my niece’s first birthday party for her. So that’s why I feel my mom is very special. Happy Mother’s Day!
