Mom, I love you with all of heart and soul. For you were the one that worked diligently for 9 months to bring life into my body. Of all of the things that you taught me through out my life, you never tired of being my moral and physical compass. You guided me through my life as a child, into adulthood, and finally as a husband and father. You shall forever be in my memories. It is a true blessing to have been chosen by god to be your son.
Love,
Gary
