Our mother was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. Our mother was always there for anyone, whether we needed prayer or a shoulder to cry on. She was a woman of strong faith and she instilled in us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right. Our mother was a true role model who we will always look up to. Mother, you will always be in our hearts, and we will never forget you. We love you so much. ¡Te quiero mucho mucho! All of God 's children say Amen!
