Mom was a homemaker who lovingly raised 10 children and numerous grandchildren throughout the years. Mom poured all of her love into her home and family. She welcomed all who entered her home with her delicious meals, a pleasant smile and her kind words. A true woman of dignity, mom loved the Lord and lived her faith daily in prayer and thanksgiving. She taught us to be faithful to Our Lord God, ourselves, to each other and to those around us. Mom was filled with compassion, wisdom, patience, understanding, strength and most of all love and forgiveness. She saw good in all situations and brought out the best in others. She was loved and respected by all who knew her. She was the heart and soul of our family. Mom was never selfish. She always put everyones needs before her own. She cooked for us, cleaned after us, taught us about love and life, laughed with us, cried with us, all in her loving and gentle manner. Mom, we cannot express how much you mean to us. We will cherish every moment we had with you. We are truly blessed to have you for our mother. It is with pride and honor that we could call you, MOM. And thank you mom for always being the prettiest PTA mom at school. Until we are reunited with you again, we know you are with your mother and dancing in Heaven with Dad.
