We couldn’t begin to count the times she tolerated our moods, counseled our heartbreaks and disappointments, endured our ups and downs. She listened to words confused by tears, and just simply understood, for no other reason than because she loved us. The years hold precious memories, but most of all they hold growth. In a way, we grew up together. Mom is our definition of a special person. Fantastic… Exceptional… Unique… Enduring! She filled our lives with happiness and sweet feelings that we will carry in our hearts forever.
