Happy Mother's Day To Eleonora ‚ÄÚLeny‚Äù DiCandia

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA — Whether it's through their personalities, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the woman who raised them.

With Mother's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across the state to share their mother-daughter and mother-son photos. Happy Mother's Day!

Carla DiCandia submitted the following for mom Eleonora “Leny” DiCandia:

Why she is special: My mom was generous, resourceful, and soooo smart. I grew up watching her give things to people who had even less than we did — she taught me all the most important things in life.
