NEWARK, NJ— 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 Shayla Reuben who nominated Susan Reuben of Newark.

What makes your Mom extra special?

My mom to me is extra special because she puts her family before herself. She will make sure you have everything you need and want before she does for herself.

She is an amazing grandmother. I have four children who are her whole world. Two of my children have autism. She stopped everything to help me with them and is at every appointment and therapy they need. We love her more than anything.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

She is a amazing person she will give your her last [dollar]. She is a beautiful person inside and out.

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