THURSDAY, MAY 11, 2000 A are) " ae HAPPY MOTHERS DAY: Acton mom Lily Higgins (centre), has a nice surprise in store on Mother's Day, thanks to daughters (from left) Jane Shortill, Charlene Higgins, Fran Gibson and Catherine Tocher. -- Frances Niblock photo By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner Mother's Day is much more than just a greeting card company holiday to the daughters of Acton's Lily Higgins, who will spend this Sunday showing their mother just how much they love her. Lily told her girls -- Catherine Tocher, Fran Gibson, Charlene Higgins and Jane Shortill -- not to buy her a gift or make a fuss, but they will ignore their mother. Lily Higgins, whose own mother died before she left England for Canada in 1951, describes herself as firm mother. "Everyone got along fine.

Charlene Higgins -- who will buy Mother's day gifts for her three sisters and her mother--remembers her moth- er's firm guidance, but said she was very easy going. "Mom raised us to be close and we all see or speak to each other weekly and will do something special for mom on Sunday out of respect, not because she expects it" Charlene said, adding her sis- ters are as easy going and laid back as their mother. "My nieces and nephews are polite and well-mannered, just like we were expected to be and we turned out all right. Happy Mother's Day, Mom."
