He said, “In my heart you live forever! Mom I know you are in a better place now. As we all give thanks to the day you walked into our lives we knew our family would never have been this strong without you there to guide us and love us the way you did. You were always there for me in fact all of us.......nothing was too small or too big for u. Personally I know the strength and love you gave me in my hardest moments......you NEVER gave up on me.....Never judged me even when I made mistakes.....but in Love you gave me advice and always told me that no matter the situation you were always there for me and you would say "even if monkey no fine im mother love am".

We will miss you but NEVER forget you as long as we live. You are an inspiration to us all. Who will call me YAW now!!! That infectious smile you always had beaming across from your face............Aunt Polina......As I always called you. From Your son Mico with love,” Mico Michel posted.
