I am forever grateful for you, Mom.

You held my hand through all my life,

found patience and understanding when we made wrong choices, praised us in all life’s moments of success and taught us how to give to others from our heart.

You never gave up on us, never walked away from us. You always made us feel special.

Thank you Mom for loving us so much and for giving us the best of you “Always”

I will never live a day of my life without missing you and being grateful.

I love you Mom,

Your loving Baby Girl and Son
