Happy Mother's Day Mom. I somehow feel you will receive this message. You were considered by many to be their "best friend"...someone who always cared about and brought a feeling of comfort to others. You were thought of as "Mom" to many beyond your immediate family and will always be remembered and loved by those you touched with your kindness.
Your Son,
Joe
