Our mother, Emma, was one of the strongest women to ever walk this earth and we were blessed to have her as the head of the family.\u00a0 She dedicated her life to being a wonderful mother.\u00a0 Emma raised and supported her children on her own through many passions and difficulties of their lives.\u00a0 Her family\u2019s needs always came first above her own, there was nothing she would not have done for them.\u00a0 Even though money was tight she also supported family back home in the Philippines when she was able to.\u00a0 Her greatest joy was to spend time with her family, feeding them, listening to them talk and laugh.<\/p>\n
Mom really loved to play Rummy and go to BINGO.\u00a0 We could never beat her at Rummy. ~ Mickey<\/p>\n
