Mom, to all the people you inspired and touched with your selflessness acts, you raised your son, our brother, that could not take care of himself for 49 years, for that I say its time to rest and let GOD do for you what he had planned. You will be missed but never forgotten, you will always be alive in our hearts. Until we meet again MOM, I LOVE YOU with all my heart. See you soon. Say Hi to Grandma and Grandpa for us.
