She believed that with God all things are possible. She taught me to trust In God and to never give up. She instilled in me a sense of purpose and a desire to make a difference in this world. Today, I stand before you I can boldly say my mother’s prayers have been answered. Through her prayer, I have achieved milestones. Her prayer guide me through the darkest of times and propelled me toward a future filled with promises. Although, my mother is no longer with us but her spirit is still here with us.

As we mourn her passing, let us also celebrate her life and the legacies she left behind. Let us remind her as a woman of faith, a loving mother.
To my dear mother, you will always be in my heart and I will never forget the love and prayers that helped me to where I am today. I love you mother!
My mother is an inspiring soul, who is always there for all who came to her with their troubles. Your home was always open to everyone including relatives, friends, and neighbors, because your hospitality made them feel special. You are my world. You did not have much but we always feel you had everything. You did not leave millions in your bank account but you left a legacy that’s worth emulating. My mother was an honest person and a God-fearing mother. She was prayerful in her lifetime. She was my world. We never knew you will leave us so soon”
