My mom was literally the physically presence of God's light and love on earth.

I was taught by her at a very young age that kindness doesn't cost a thing and it could mean the world to someone to just smile at them. It was so important that everyone she knew, knew they were loved and cared about. I try to carry that on for her. She gave the best hugs ever.

My mom knew no stranger and would help anyone with anything they needed.

I knew she loved me, and I was honored that she told me almost daily that I made her proud. It's every child's wish to know that in their lifetime.

Everyone tells me I look like her and I act like her. I can't think of a bigger compliment.

Love you mommy. I'll miss you.
