Toms River Mom Celebrated By Kids & Grandkids For 'Unconditional Love'

TOMS RIVER, 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 Nikki Gallipoli who nominated Lorraine of Toms River.

What makes your Mom extra special?

My mom is extra special because she demonstrates unconditional love through her selfless ways. My mom taught us, “to never think you are better than anyone” which created us to be humble and empathetic individuals.

As a mom, you never feel like you do enough or wish you did things better knowing what you know now; therefore, I want my mom to have peace of mind to know SHE DID IT!!!! And she continues to build these strong secure bonds with her 5 grandkids too!!! Secure attachment styles of relationships are hard to come by these days, which is why my mom is extra special to have that gift to pass on to all of us with hopes to continue to develop strong, kind, empathetic, trusting relationships which we all need in this world right now!

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

To let her know we recognize her selfless ways!!!

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