“Mom, you taught us right from wrong. Mom, you were always there when we needed you. Mom, you took us under your wing to guide us, love us, and to be a strong woman and never give up. Mom, you where not just a Mom. You where the best Mom to everyone who came in your life. You showed so much love. A Grandma, you were the best ever. You played. You loved. You taught. You never let them go without. You spoiled them. They never wanted to leave Grandma’s.”
