Mom was a great cook. She enjoyed cooking food as much as she enjoyed eating it. She had a passion for art and music, and loved being in her garden with her rescued pets. Mom was the most giving person I have ever known. Always willing to have less if that meant someone in need could have more. Never forgetting what it was like to be poor. I will miss you deeply momma bear and I look forward to the day we will be together again. ‘Your Loving Son, Matt
