Moms life and spirited living was and still is a great influence on me, son#2, to be brave and stick to it, never giving up. She was the living example of what the Lord God teaches us in Philippians 4:13...I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

There she is, my beautiful Mom. She taught me many valuable life lessons and virtues. That ambition and hard work will make you a success, not to be afraid to risk a chance and to take the initiative. She lived the values that she taught us. You will forever live in my heart. I Love you Mom.
