My mom was the rock of our family. She was the strongest women I ever met. She raised 3 kids all on her own and she did a great job. She always expected the very best out of her kids. There was me Lisa and the oldest son greg and then the baby freddie. My mom was very driven.  My mom was raised catholic she went to all catholic schools her whole life even the nursing school she graduated from was catholic. She chose to be a nurse for her career and she retired as the head of the nursing department  after working at medical center Tarzana for 36 years. My mom was the greatest mom ever and I miss her so much
