It is with immense sadness, that I share the news of my mother’s passing. To honor my mom’s wishes, there was a private funeral service.
My mom may have been petite in stature, but she was one of the strongest and most resilient people I’ve ever known. Her strength was steady, quiet, and unshakable, and she carried it with her every day of her life.
So much of her life was devoted to our family restaurant. For decades, she worked tirelessly from 10 in the morning until 10 at night. She gave her energy, her love, and her time, and in doing so, she showed us all what resilience, sacrifice, and dedication truly look like.
But beyond her work, she was an amazing mom, grandma and great grandma. She was our strength, our heart, and our home.
What I will always carry with me, is how much she showed us that true strength isn’t measured in size, but in love, sacrifice, and the way you show up for others. Her legacy is one of resilience, devotion, and deep love for her family.
I feel honored and privileged to have been her daughter. She was my best friend and the best mother anyone could wish for ,and I will miss her forever.
Thank you for your love and support during this difficult time.
