She had six kids-- three boys, three girls.
She was the ultimate homemaker.

I'm not a control freak, but I might like things my way.
If I'm, like, waiting on my G-Wagon,
I know how to make it happen,
where I get the G-Wagon with the right colored seats
on time and delivered to my door,
but this, I have zero control over.
Like, I have no say in where Jack goes,
how he lives, and it's really, really a lot.
I am just so grateful you guys are all here.
With a show of hands,
who knew Jack was going on the mission before us?
Oh, my gosh! Look, the whole room!
It's such a major deal
to give up two years of your life to serve God,
and I'm so grateful he made this decision.
I love you so much. Okay.
Henry, get up here. Henry, come on.
- Okay. - 'Cause you're the little man.
[indistinct conversations]
Okay, I'm nervous! I'm nervous! Oh, my gosh!
So, before-- before I get into this,
you know, I wanna thank you guys all for coming out.
It means so much, and I'm just so blessed
that I have great parents that have been supportive with me,
no matter what. Pre-mish, they were supportive.
Post-mish, they're even more supportive,
and so they're very loving. I love Henry.
He's been super supportive along this whole ride,
even though, um, first thing he said when I told him was, uh,
he goes--I go, "Henry, I'm going on a mission."
- He goes, "That sucks." - [laughter]
But ever since, he's been super excited and pumped for me,
and so I'm blessed.
And so, you know, let's get into this.
"Dear Elder Barlow,
you are hereby called to serve as a missionary
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
You are assigned to labor
in the Columbia Bogotá North Mission.
- [cheering] - LISA: Oh, my God!
Oh, my gosh. [laughs] Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! - So unexpected.
Oh, my gosh. [crying]
[laughter]
Oh, my gosh.
I cannot believe he's going to Colombia.
[gasps]
He'll probably be held up at gunpoint at least
once or twice on his mission.
My friend's son was just there. He was held up at gunpoint,
like, weekly, so he'd carried, like,
an extra few bucks in his pocket and just, like, handed it over.
He's like, "Okay, I see the gun. Here's the cash."
But I mean, overall, it's thrilling.
I was expecting, like, Europe or something or New York. Yeah.
