In life you sometimes meet special people. I meet a special person at birth she was my Mother. You in time come to realize how a Mother sacrificed her time and comfort for you as a child. My Mom was the most loving and unselfish lady you would have ever known. May she now rest in God's care.. Love you always Mom.
