LONG BEACH, CA— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!

Here at Patch we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.

This submission comes from Anna who nominated Mary of Long Beach.

My mom was my best friend. Sadly to say, she passed away in 2020.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

Because my mom raised six kids on her own.

Happy Mother's Day to Mary, and thank you for all you do!
