“My mother was the best as we grew up strict and firm, but my sister and I grew to be the people we are and we were. My mother did without a lot as we grew up, to ensure my sister and I have everything we needed. She always put our needs first. After we were grown and on our own then she took care of herself with good reason.
Thanks mom,
We all love you, may God Bless you and you will be missed.”
