Who was my Mother, this describes her best. Corinthians 13:4-8a - "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." all she did she did for others.
I love her and miss her. She was the best. I would like to thank my family for all they have done helping and being there.
