Quote

"I have been incredibly blessed with professional recognition and honors over the years. However, none have touched my heart as deeply as induction to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. God’s plan for my life has been far more exciting and wonderful than my plan. He has found a way to use the life of an Oklahoma farm girl to benefit others, not only in my home state but around the world." - Mo Anderson
