Happy Mother's Day To Chris Russell

TROY, MI — 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!

Patti Serafini submitted the following for mom Chris Russell:

Why she is special: My mom is 95 this year! She gets up every morning and bakes either cinnamon rolls or Irish soda bread. She is the BEST mother of 6. She's unselfish, gives unconditional love, cares for everyone, and including my 93 year old father and NEVER complains of aches and pains. She is my hero and role model.

Message: Mom, you are my best friend, and my partner in crime and the BEST mother I could ever wish for. Thank you for all that you do for us. WE LOVE YOU!

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.
