I have been wanting to tell everyone about my beautiful mom. She has been through a lot in life. She lost my oldest brother Jimmy when he was almost 2 in a fire. I know that destroyed her. But she already had my brother John then found out she was having me. My mom had 3 more children Linda,Melvin and Ron. She raised us in the project and did an awesome job. My mom would always help people. When someone needed help they called Auntie Mary and she would never say no. Everyone loved Auntie Mary. My brothers friends called her ma. She was the best always helping someone. My ma had a heart of gold. Then she lost her younger brother Sonny who was killed in 1976. My mom changed when that happened. She was really never the same. But she struggled seen doctors and came a long way. She then lost 2 of her grandchildren my son Sonny And her grandson John and also my cousin Emo. My mom stuck right by all us kids. She loved the Boston Red Sox. I started getting her into hockey. My mom was my best friend and I miss her so very bad. She passed away of lung cancer. But I kept her home with me and took care of her and so did my brother Melvin. And my children helped me.  My mom passed peacefully at home. But to watch my mom die was something I will never forget. Losing my son and mom nephew cousin all took a toll on me. But I thank God for giving me the mom he gave me. I would want no other. I love you mom forever and ever ❤️ ♥️
