Happy Mother's Day To Jeanette Jackson

ELGIN, IL — 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!

Earlene Hunley submitted the following for mom Jeanette Jackson:

Why she is special: My mom is the epitome of an amazing woman who gave me the blueprint to life. She gives so much of herself and not only to her children but also those around her. She is blessing from God and I love her more than mere words can say.

Message: Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader and being by side enduring this thing called life.
