Pugh's Names Jane Nason Mother of the Year

Pugh's Flowers held a Memphis Favorite Mom contest this year in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day. Pugh's received hundreds of entries but the grand prize winner really stood out: Jane Nason. Here's the submission that tells the story of just how much Jane Nason means to so many children:

Tell us why your mother should be Memphis' Favorite Mom?: Dear Pugh's Flowers, There is one special lady living here in the Memphis area. She has given love, and a good home to over 63 foster children, not to mention her other 4
children, over the years. Many of those she fostered have been adopted by loving families in the area. She continues to keep up with them, and will often have the children over to spend time on weekends. She can even tell you their
birthdates, how much they weighed at birth, and their measurements too. She's an amazing woman! She continues to have a relationship with many of the women and children who have come through her home. There is one family in the inner
city that she has mentored for many years. She began as the foster parent for this family's triplets, then worked with the young mother to help her raise her triplets and provide for them. She continues to buy clothes, food, school
supplies, and other items to help this young mother get through tough times. There is so much I could share about my favorite Memphis Mom - - she's kind, compassionate, caring, loving, Christ-honoring, hard working. She is a mentor
to many young women, teenagers, minister's wives and others in our community. She is JANE NASON. I hope that you will consider her Memphis' Favorite Mom, as she certainly deserves such title, and would never expect to be given such

Way to go Jane and way to go Pugh's for recognizing the many loving mothers we have here. Memphis has long been known for the generosity of our people. Jane Nason is an excellent example of Memphis generosity.
