This website is dedicated to Ann Napier

for all the years of self sacrifice while wearing many hats in order to raise her six children. What do you call a lady who has given and continues to give so much to her family without expecting anything in return? Quiet simply we call her “Mom” but she is so much more. She is our Hero and we want the world to know how much we all love and appreciate her more than words could ever express.

The Beginning of the 5th generation

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strain
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth,
         Of course I know it
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
