      Danielle, Anthony, Zachary

      The best and dearest gifts of my life-

      With all my heart and love

      My Mother

      She enhanced my life…

      And because of her, I am a more loving, compassionate, and understanding person.

      She taught me to see the best in myself and others.

      To reveal that best with integrity that could not be denied.

      Like a shining star, she had an inner light that shone out and made my days brighter. Nothing in life… will ever make up for the kind of mother I have lost.

      Is someone who can pour light into a cup

      And then raise it
