* Winning nomination essay submitted by daughter Kathleen Steele

DETROIT, MI - Ms. Sandy Adams of Fife Lake has won the Mother of the Year contest sponsored by Better Made Snack Foods! The winning essay was submitted by her daughter, Kathleen Steele, also of Fife Lake, and for that, Sandy will receive a sampler box containing 15 bags of different delicious Better Made products.

"Despite being diagnosed with breast cancer, she has always been the rock for the family," says Kathleen. "My mother has always been there for me as a child, being a stay at home mom, a luxury many cannot afford in this day and age, but she was willing to sacrifice to make this happen. She held my hand through the ups and downs of growing up and never doubted me. She was always there for me. I know in my heart she is the best mother for which I could ever ask.
