She was the Matriarch of our family and one of the strongest women we knew. She taught us the importance of love, loyalty, and family values by example. Even though she faced adversity and the road she traveled was uncertain, she persevered. Many times, she denied herself and sacrificed for each of her children. Her love was unconditional and will live on through each one of us. She was the true definition of a Mother.
