Mom, you were and still are the best mother any three childeren could have, you had 3 girls all 5 yrs apart, and move from Germany speaking no English at all, You took the risk that dad asked of you, and that was to leave your parents behind, and start a new life in the United States. you didnt want to do this but you did, you and dad said it would be a better life for us girls and yes you did what was best for us always. You then slowley learned english and learned the American way, and found that you truly did love the US> So you became a stay at home mom, and cooked, cleaned, and did all the things a mother should do, didnt smoke didnt drink, and had a lot of good friends. you raised us great, even tho we at times gave you a hard time, you truly put up with our mishaps. You are truly missed by us all, especially me, all the times i got to come and stay with you and your new husband after dad passed away so young, and we had such good times. you made me laugh, you made me cry, and I just plain out loved you more then words could say.your the kind of mom that most childeren need now aday. the kind that stays home, bakes, and is always there when i came home from school. never once were you not here for me, even as i got older and needed you,You were there for me, when i should of been there for you at your age and you never let me down. i miss you so much and I hope the Lord knows what a great women he has with him, we had you till you were 72 which is long but wouldnt mind another 20 I just love you, and miss you and so does my daughter danielle, I hope you are out of pain, and see dad and are happy now, I am sure you are, and i know you are watching over me, there are times i feel down and then realize that you are around me, I love you mom. silvia.
