I thank you Mom for all the ways you shown to us your love. At the time, it seemed like "tough Love" before it even became "politically correct". How fortunate that we had a Mother at home sometimes-a little over protective but now I realize that it couldn't of been any other way. Granted, I still made plenty of mistakes, but I appreciate the lessons that I learned to hand down to the other family members. Whether they listen is up to them; and they too will learn that you always knew what was best for us. The greatest gift is reading that you helped me with as I struggled through elementary with limited English speaking abilities. By the third grade, I was well on my way thanks to your dedication. It has been beautiful the last weeks with you we had many shared moments that will forever live on in my heart. Thank you for the opportunity we shared in prayer forgiving each other. Your oldest, Mone
