Family was everything to Mom as was evident by the unconditional love she bestowed upon us. We were made to feel special and could talk to her about anything and everything. Mom was our backbone, and left a legacy of enduring strength behind. Mom liked to share special occasions with family, and was always pleased to hear the footsteps and voices of the children. I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always. Mom was a modest and humble woman, and will be remembered as such.
