    Mom,
    Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven. We miss you so much. We are thankful for having you on this earth for 90 years. You have been a wonderful mother, wife, and grandmother. Certainly, you were one of a kind. Loved to listen to your harmonica and accordion sessions. It always brought a Smile to my face. Thanks for all the dinners together with all the specialties.You have taught me a lot over the years and became my inspiration for many things I do. In Heaven, say hello to Dad for all of us. I know that we will all meet again someday ! Love, your son Jaime
