Love you Mom. Thanks for being the best mother anyone could have. I will never forget how you raised me, the values you taught and the love and encouragement you provided. You will be missed, very much, but one day I will see you again. Please watch over the family, Dad and keep us safe until that time. I will continue to work to make you proud and not let you down.
