My mom was a wonderful woman, had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand, had a smile that could light up an entire room and could easily turn a bad day into a great day. It’s been 5 years since she passed and she just had a warmth and light to her heart that nobody could replace. I hope that one day I’ll be the kind of person you were because you were truly the best person I have known in my life.
