My Mother was the strongest person I have ever known. Her integrity was unquestionable. She was a Mother to so many...She raised her brothers and her sister, her own children, and many other family member's children. She adored her grandchildren and great grand children. She is the standard that all other mothers should strive to meet. I am so blessed to have been raised by this incredible fierce little lady. I miss you Mom and I know I will see you in Heaven.
