"Mom, you taught us right from wrong.  Mom, you were always there when we needed you.  Mom, you took us under your wing to guide us, love us, and to be a strong woman and never give up.  Mom, you where not just a Mom.  You where the best Mom to everyone that came in your life.  You showed so much love.  A Grandma, you were the best ever.  You played.  You loved.  You taught.  You never let them go without.  You spoiled them.  They never wanted to leave Grandmas.".
