Mom, you were a wonderful mother to us all. You always cared for each and every one of us. You taught us so much, such as morals, kindness, caring and respect. We all carry part of you with us and in our hearts. We will miss you asking us every time we visited, "Do you want something to eat?" We will all miss you, but we know that you are now at peace. I love you mom.
