'Amazing' Bedford Mom Remembered For Loving Kids, Grandkids

Patch and T-Mobile are partnering to shine a light on awesome moms in the Bedford area.

BEDFORD, NH— 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 Megan who nominated Donna of Bedford.

What makes your Mom extra special?

She was a single mother of two kids —one with a disability, which made things even harder. She got her GED then went on to cosmetology school to make a better life for us. Things were not always easy but she managed. Then she fell sick and I — her youngest daughter — had to take care of her. I was going to school and working to help provide for my family due to her not being able to work. She worked so hard to provide for us — it was time I stepped up. I moved her closer to me so I could take care of her. She loved her grand-babies so much — they were the light in her life. Then things got worse, she got sicker and ended up in a nursing home [and then] at the hospital, and she ended up dying four days later ... I needed to say how much of an amazing mom she really was. If she only knew how much of an amazing mom she truly was.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

She worked so hard being to provide for us and did an amazing job. She deserves to be recognized even though she’s not here with us.

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