Mom,
You were the best Mother ever, you always thought of us kids first. You supported us in all our endeavors. You made sure we had everything we needed for school, encouraged us to be ourselves, to make our own choices and except the consequences of those choices. My friends and I loved your home made breads, cinnamon rolls and chocolate chip cookies, not just because they tasted great but because of all the time and love you put into them. I missed a lot of family time by enlisting in the Navy at 17, and being based in California, staying there for the last 38 years, but those first 17 years were packed with loving memories. My success in life, my career and now my retirement, are a direct result of your love, the way you raised me, and my desire to always make you proud, so you knew your sacrifices were not in vain. I am glad we had the chance to reconnect in March, spending those weeks with you, our talks, playing cards, and sharing our memories, was amazing. Thanks You for being such a great Mother and role model. I will love you and miss you forever. Rest In Peace.
