Above all else, her greatest joy in life was her family, her kids and her husband who were her pride and joy. Being a mother was the role she cherished most, and her children were, without question, her proudest accomplishment. She poured her heart into raising them with unconditional love, unwavering strength, and endless selflessness. Every decision she made was rooted in wanting the very best for those she loved.
She was the greatest blessing to our family, our safest place, and the heart of our family. Her love was the kind that never asked for anything in return, and never let us doubt how deeply we were loved and cherished. We will spend the rest of our life’s being grateful that God placed her in ours.
