Suburban 'Southern Belle' Never Seeks The Spotlight, But Deserves It

OAK PARK-RIVER 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 Mrs. Sheila Wesonga, who nominated Mrs. Sadie Esco of Oak Park-River Forest.

What makes your Mom extra special?

She has always worked hard to achieve nothing short of the very best in EVERYTHING. She keeps an immaculate home, she is a great cook, her attire is always spectacular, she is strong willed—she is clear and articulate about what she believes and her faith in God is steadfast.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

She is the 10th of 17 children, married the love of her life after graduating from high school and as a Southern Belle never had nor sought the spot light. However, to see her the light shines on her, and her dedication to her family and friends makes her deserving of this honor.

Happy Mother's Day to Mrs. Sadie Esco, and thank you for all you do!
