OAK FOREST, IL— 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 Bridget Brown, who nominated Lois West of Oak Forest.

What makes your Mom extra special?

My mom has the biggest heart, she always goes above and beyond to take care of everyone around her. She’s the bravest, strongest woman in my life.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

I don’t think she gets nearly as much appreciation as she deserves.

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