Happy Mother's Day To Marina Wood

PLAINFIELD, 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!

JAMIE WOOD submitted the following for mom Marina Wood:

Why she is special: Her selflessness

Message: Mom, I know you love us all and I would like to say that on behalf of Gina, Stephanie, Darnell, Gabe, Gavin, Scarlet, Aidan and Jameson and of course myself, that we love you and appreciate everything you do for our family. You've given up so much of yourself for others. And if we could give you the world we would. Even when I lived in Wyoming I could count on you for support. We've hadcso many good moments as a family. Thank you mom! We love you so much, even though we may not always say or act like it, I promise my heart that we do. So cheers to you mom, for the great memories and to making more! Happy Mother's Day. Love, and Jamie and the rest of our crazy crew.

At Patch, we want to celebrate that special bond by inviting our readers to share their favorite mother-daughter or mother-son photos and sentiments. Submit your special message here.
