Happy Mother's Day To Tricia Ruiter

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!

Karla Ruiter submitted the following for mom Tricia Ruiter:

Why she is special: My mom is everything a mom should be! She is so funny, caring, and truly one of a kind. She would do anything for her family and I admire her for so many reasons! She is so optimistic, hardworking, and and always has a smile on her face. She's the best of the best.

Message: Happy Mother's day! Thanks for being the fun, energetic, and positive person you are. You're everything that a mom should be and I am so lucky to have you as mine. Love you!
