My mother was my best friend. She was kind to everyone and made many unseen people feel seen. She was a bright light any place she went and her charisma was attractive to all. She was not just “likable” she was lovable and anyone who truly knows her knows that. She encouraged many to follow the paths that made them happy and she loved despite the flaws of others. She was the mom who reminded you to be young wild and free. She would be the first to offer a helping hand to any person she saw struggling and trust me she saw the struggle way before you ever told her. When you were sick there was no better Nurse. When you had a school, sporting, or special life events no one was there more and cheering you on the hardest. Mom thank you for helping raise my kids and holding my hand and teaching me all the best mom things. I promise to continue on with everything you taught me. There is not a day on this earth that my heart will not yearn for you until we meet in the place that’s the best. Love Jessica Maria🤍. Mommy’s little punkadoo!
