My Mother was such a beautiful woman. She was filled with so much Love for her family and her friends. She was selfless, honest and one of the hardest working woman I know. She taught me to be compassionate and patient. She taught me to be independent and to work hard and always give my Best. She loved to cook and it showed and I am blessed that her passion was passed on to me. One of our favorite things to do together was to be in a kitchen creating something filled with love that we could share with everyone. She loved the togetherness it would bring to her family and her friends. She loved laughing and her laugh and her smile was infectious to those around her. My Mom was a true friend. One most people aren't lucky to have in a lifetime. She was my strength, my rock, my protector, my friend and Most of all she was the BEST Mother I could have ever asked for. The best parts of me came from her. She had more courage than anyone I know. She taught me to not give up and to give my all. Mom. I love you Always and I miss you with a hurt that is almost unbearable but I thank you for EVERYTHING and I will always remember that every success I have, whether it be in love, life or work, it's because you taught me how to achieve these things. I Love you. Rest in peace my sweet beautiful Mom. You are in a so much more beautiful place now and I know you fit in perfectly there.
