She was a great inspiration, very hospitable. One who was always there for all who came to her with troubles. She never failed to sooth them with kind words and wise advice.

My love and gratitude to her cannot be expressed in words, because my thoughts and deepest emotions cannot be expressed in words. My mother taught me to love God and to forgive those that have offended me.
