Mom
There will never be enough words to tell you what you have ment to me/us in our lives. You gave up your career without question to take care of us and I would not be the man that I am now if it was not for you. Thank you for allowing God to use you in the place he wanted you. It might have been a rough road at times however; God has called you home to give you your crown of glory and tell you well done my faithful servant.
I love and Miss you Mom!
