My dear mother, you were the epitomy of love, selflessness and generosity.  I know that you are in Heaven watching over me and your granddaughters.  Your legacy of courage, fearlessness, and strength inspire and guide me every day.  Thank you for being my mother.  I count myself as blessed to be your daughter. You are my raison d’etre, my lifeblood, and I will always remember & cherish you.
