To say that she was the best mom ever would be an understatement. Mom was always the perfect lady who tried to teach her girls what was important in life: 1)Family always comes first 2)Friends are your second family 3)Be kind to everyone 4)Money isn't everything 5)Work to live, don't live to work 6)NEVER forget your manners.

I wish I could have had the strength to stand up during mom's service and share with everyone just how special I think my mother is. But anyone who met her...

We will never forget your face, the sound of your voice, and the gentleness of your touch, you always let us know that we were loved. We hope to honor you every day in how you taught us to live. We miss you so very much, but we know that God needed you in heaven to love, and teach all the little children just as you had done here on earth. God bless you Mommy, I love you more than life itself. Your loving daughter, son and grandson.
