You taught us to demand respect and to show it; to show the Love of God to others in action, not just words. You stressed the importance of family and you were the glue that held us together till we were old enough to come together on our own. I wish I were better with my words, I'd write you a poem or could sing I'd write you a song. All I have left is the memory of your words, your actions...You will be forever loved, and never forgotten! Your legacy will live on.
