What a great tribute! My Mom also ranks up there as the best. My Mom (“Nan” in Albanian) is still my most avid supporter. She has an incredible wisdom and though she did not have the opportunity to have much of an education, she ranks as one of the smartest people I know (and I work with some of the smartest anywhere). Her wit, her practicality, hard work, generosity, love, sacrifice and caring for her family are what make my “Nan” the best.
