Love Letter To Mom: Happy Mother's Day, Marie Tabak

BEVERLY-MTGREENWOOD, IL — She's the one that loved you first, but mom is much more than that. She’s a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a shoulder to cry on — and maybe one of the toughest women you’ve ever met.

We asked Patch readers in more than 1,000 communities to tell us what their moms mean to them. Nearly 200 people responded, paying tribute not just to moms but sometimes to grandmas, sisters and daughters who deserve recognition for Mother’s Day 2021.

Here’s what John Tabak of Oak Lawn had to say about mom Marie Tabak of Chicago :

Mom, thank you for all that you do! We love you! Happy Mother’s Day! Love, John, Cheryl, and Maddie & Baby John
