These Matawan-Aberdeen Daughters Sure Look Like Their Moms!

MATAWAN-ABERDEEN, NJ — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies, humor or a combination of them all, daughters become reflections of the women who raised them. With Mother's Day 2018 right around the corner, we celebrated that special bond by inviting Patch readers across New Jersey to share their "mother-daughter look-alike" photos.

And check out how much some of these Matawan-Aberdeen moms and daughters resemble each other!

"Hi! My name is Lexus, and I am the daughter. My mom’s name is Buffie," writes Matawan resident Lexus, pictured above. "We are from Matawan. I want my Mom to know that she is my hero. She is dedicated and disciplined to achieve the goals she sets for herself. I am so proud of her! She is beautiful inside and out and I love her very much. I realize how much I am just like her every time I open my mouth to speak or laugh."

"I would love for me and my mom to be featured," writes Hillary Guierro of Matawan. She is pictured above with her mom, Cindy Brancaccio. "She has been a single mother of two for 19 years. Fought two types of thyroid cancer. I would love to say: Mom, you are my hero. I am who I am because you were there to push me. I love you and thank you! Love, Pollyanna."

"My name is Jennifer Lorig and this lovely young lady is my daughter, Kaylee Lorig," writes the Aberdeen mother above. "Just wanted to say what an amazing person my daughter Kaylee is, with having great grades in school, being a fun sister to her younger brothers, and being an all-around caring person. I could not ask for anything more. Her father and I are so very proud of her! Thank you for giving me a chance to say something special for my daughter Kaylee."

"My name is Dawn Connolly from Old Bridge/Matawan. This is my 12-year-old daughter, Jordan. Everyone says we are twins! Love this girl to pieces and couldn’t do this life without her! She’s smart, helpful and responsible!!"

"Here is a picture of my mom, Gladys, sister, Lissette, and myself at our mom's first-ever Spartan Race," writes Sayreville resident Linnette Mercado. "I'm on the right, Mom's in the middle. We have all been asked if we were triplets multiple times in our lives and our Mom loves it! Mom, you are my best friend and we are lucky to have you in our lives. You've taught us how to be strong women inside and out! Proud to call you our mother! Happy Mother's Day! We love you!"

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies! Happy Mother's Day!
