My mom was a free spirit, and she brought me up to be a free spirit.

Mother was a great force in her area of evangelism.

My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.

Mother was actually a great doer and organizer. All the special occasions were directed by mother.

I'm extremely blessed to have the extraordinary mother that I have, and I don't mean Diana Ross, I mean the mother. My mom paved a road that didn't exist, as did Oprah.

One of the great things about my mother is she really valued people's character more than what they did.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences... everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving - she's better than me.

She was a great lady. We raised three boys, were together as long as she lived, and now she's passed on.

My mother was one of the most dynamic and brilliant women I have ever known. She was also mercurial and unfocused.

My mother pretty much raised me to be a free spirit. Anything my father would say, she would tell me, 'No, it's like this.'
