Quietly and fearlessly, you continued to endure, bringing so much love and happiness into the lives of your children. Outwardly you have always been a beautiful woman but your true beauty is seen in the concern for all who you know, especially your children. We have known from our earliest memories that we were your greatest possession and you have timelessly sacrificed all for us.
