Mother, thank you for giving us your ambitious qualities, your innate ability to overcome any obstacle, and teaching us to be self-sufficient. We will be fine, now walk with grandpa, relish in his storytelling, and rest in peace.

In Lieu of services and flowers, please donate on our mother’s behalf.
