To everyone who took the time to light a candle, share a memory, offer words of encouragement, or extend condolences, my sisters and I are deeply grateful. Your kindness and support have meant the world to us during this difficult time.
Our mother was the heart of our family, the steady presence that held us together. She touched countless lives, not only as a mother but as a friend, a listening ear, and a source of comfort in times of need. Her love was unwavering, her generosity boundless, and her spirit will forever be a part of us.
Though these days have been hard, we still feel her love surrounding us, guiding us forward. We will honor her legacy, carrying on the traditions she built and the strength she instilled in us. Thank you for standing with us, for remembering her, and for celebrating the incredible life she lived.
