Love Letter To Mom: Happy Mother's Day, Bonniejean Campos

TINLEY PARK, 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 Samantha Campos of Worth had to say about mom Bonniejean campos of Tinley Park :

Hello, mom I just wanted to tell you Happy Mother's Day ! I know it been a hard one especially with covid but here to another year and I just wanted you to know I miss you love you and we will all be together again soon. I can't wait for that day to come but thank you for always being my mom and for all the hard work you have done since I was a little girl I know it might go unnoticed when I was younger but I know it all now so thank you and. Happy Mother's Day love, and Samantha
