You are my mentor and friend. You have taught me so much about being strong and centered. You are a wonderful example of what a mother is, and I am thankful that I have gotten to know you and spend time with you. You have been a wonderful second grandmother to my children and they are so blessed to have you in their lives. I appreciate the strength and resilience that you have shown me over the years. I will always remember the first time we met and how you changed my life when you hired me
