Love Letter To Mom: Happy Mother's Day, Rosana Gauna

SAN MATEO, CA — She's the one that loved you first, but mom is much more than that. She’s a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a shoulder to cry on — and maybe one of the toughest women you’ve ever met.

We asked Patch readers in more than 1,000 communities to tell us what their moms mean to them. Nearly 200 people responded, paying tribute not just to moms but sometimes to grandmas, sisters and daughters who deserve recognition for Mother’s Day 2021.

Here’s what Andrea Hernandez of Shoreview had to say about mom Rosana Gauna of Shoreview :

Mom, we want to celebrate you not only today but every day. You made the amazing mother I am today and without you we'd all be lost. You are the rock of our family. You teach us love, kindness, and respect. You're big heart has impacted the lives of over 100 elderly and dependent adults of our community. I am so glad you got the Hometown Hero award this year. Not only are you the Hometown Hero, and you are our hero. We love you mom. Happy Mother's Day!
