Tribute to Our Mother

We can’t imagine what our life would be like if we didn’t have a mother like you.

You’ve shown us the meaning of unselfishness and the value of love.

It was always a comfort to know you were there, no matter what happened.

We are proud to have had an Awesome Mother.

We will miss you! We love You!

Always,

Your Children
