Today we honor the life of my mom. She was a truly amazing woman who was the kindest and most lovely person in the world. I can honestly say she was my best friend and to try and do justice right here in this short eulogy will be impossible. She dedicated her life to her family and making sure we were supported in whatever we did and that we never felt anything other than loved. She sacrificed more than I'll ever know and even when she was putting everyone else before herself she still made time to listen to all our problems. We love her more than words could possibly say and she will live on in our hearts forever more.
