As Mother's Day approaches, we're honoring and celebrating the many amazing mother-daughter duos who serve our families together. What was it like growing up w...ith a mother in the funeral profession? Lauren: My mom worked a lot of late nights. I didn't understand the hard work, exhausting hours and passion that funeral directors put into their work to serve families. I get it now and appreciate what it's like to be in this profession. Kim: Lauren suffered with a mother who worked too much. I learned (although later than I should have) that work-life balance should tilt more towards life. I pay closer attention to it today. What are the biggest lessons you've learned from each other? Kim: Lauren has the unique ability to analyze a situation and quickly come up with solutions. I remember discussing with her middle school teacher what a great leader she would become, and she has certainly done just that! Lauren: Your mom always knows what's best for you. When my mom gave me advice, most of the time I would do the opposite, and it wouldn't pan out well. She never had to tell me I told you so, I knew she was right. Kim Perry, New England Market Managing Director, Fall River, Massachusetts Lauren Pineau, Celebration of Life Event Planner, New Bedford, Massachusetts

Mother’s Day spotlight: meet the moms and daughters that work together to serve families and their words of advice. How has your mother influenced your life an...d career? Christina: My mom has always been a strong independent woman and role model. For as long as I can remember, my mom has worked two or more jobs to provide for me and my siblings. I knew she couldn't be at every sporting event or family function, but tried to be there when she could. My mom is Superwoman. Growing up, I wanted to make sure I did what I could to make her proud. I was not afraid to work hard because my mom works hard every day. Because of her support, I have been able to accomplish what I set out to do. What is the biggest lesson you've learned from your daughter? Liz: Christina has shown true determination. She is the first woman in our family to obtain a bachelor's degree. I have learned to ask questions, and more than likely others will benefit from those questions too.
