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
