Mom, Thank you always for being there for us. We cannot fully express our gratitude in mere words, but we will try. You always put us first, and we will never forget that. You have given us the strength, courage, determination, and guidance to sustain us, and we appreciate all the sacrifices you made. You loved us unconditionally and let each of us succeed and, at times, fail. You never let us down and always listened without judgment. We, as your children, will never forget the life lessons you taught us and will continue to honor your legacy and strive to reflect your enduring selflessness for the remainder of our days. We love you with all our hearts, Melissa (Missy), Eric, and Angie.
