I sit here on the eve of your final goodbye. Your determination, grit and perseverance is what I strive to emulate. No matter how many times you were counted out you rose to the top, metaphorically speaking. You are the hardest working person I know, with a determination like no other. I thank you for the countless hours of dedication you have shown us. The most selfless person I have ever met and I am eternally grateful to have you as my mother. I will always keep you in mind and can’t wait to see you again. To the greatest mother God created. I love you and will see you on the other side!
