Today, we remember and honor my mom—a woman whose love shaped our lives in ways
words can barely capture. She was our comfort on hard days, our biggest supporter in
quiet moments, and our strength when we didn’t know how to be strong ourselves.
My mom had a way of making people feel seen and cared for. Whether through her words,
her actions, or simply her presence, she gave love freely and without expecting anything in
return. She taught us kindness, patience, and the importance of family—not just by what
she said, but by how she lived every day.
She wasn’t perfect, but she was real, and her love was unwavering. The lessons she gave
us, the memories we shared, and the love she poured into our lives will stay with us
forever. Though we miss her deeply, we carry her with us—in our hearts, our choices, and
the way we love others.
Thank you, Mom, for everything you gave us. We love you, we honor you, and we will never forget you.

Ms Dona was my very best friend and will love her forever. Was always there for me in any situation that came up in our lives and I tried to be there for her as well. I am truly sorrowful she’s not here anymore. I am still in disbelief and trying to comprehend her leaving but I know that the good Lord had other plans for her. You will be on, in my mind and heart forever. Loving you and pray we will see each other soon. We had a saying “God knew I needed a special friend and he sent me you”.

Hi mom. I think about you everyday and miss you so much. I am saddened that you are no longer here, but I know that you are no longer in pain or suffering anymore. I just want you to know that you were an amazing woman and mother. I'm glad I got to have you as a mother for almost 51 year's. You always made me proud and will always be my hero. I will always carry you in my heart. This is not goodbye, this is I'll see you later. So until we see each other again, I love you, I miss you and you're forever in my heart. ❤️
