Thank you to all who entered.
CALIFORNIA
Winner: DeAnna V.
Mom: Deborah V.
Proclamation: My mom should be Queen for a day, because she treats everyone else like royalty. My mom is a Service Dog Trainer. She trains dogs for people who have disabilities such as medical alert, hearing and for mobility. She also volunteers. She goes to the Veterans Hospital. She brings her therapy dogs along to keep the vets company and to cheer them up. When I was younger I was sick a lot, she sacrificed a lot in order for me to get better. She is a great mom! And she deserves to be treated like royalty. Thank you!
CANADA
Winner: Erica D.
Mom: Gail D.
Proclamation: I am recovering from a brain tumour and unable to work currently. My mother was not only there for me and my daughter during the time that I was at the hospital, but has also provided a place for me and my daughter to live until I am able to support us. My mom is a volunteer at a therapeutic riding barn and LOVES horses. This would truly be one of the best was that I could show her that I am thankful for everything that she has done for me.

GEORGIA
Winner: Jeremy B.
Mom: Jackie B.
Proclamation: I feel my mom should be treated like royalty because as long as my sister and I have been alive she has put our needs before hers. She goes without new clothes so that we can have new ones. She works all day and still manages to make fresh hot meals in the afternoon. When one of is sick (even though we are grown) she still finds it in her to take care of us. She is truly a wonderful mother, and the least I could do for her is to have her treated like the true queen she is.

Winner: Andy P.
Mom: Ellen P.
Proclamation: My mom is kind to us and other people. She is loving to her family as a queen would be to her kingdom. She is prettier and nicer than any queen ever. She is hard-working and deserves much more than she earns. She is very athletic and could help around the castle she deserves to live in. She wants this a lot and deserves it even more. My mom is great.

Mom: Dovie T.
Proclamation: My mother is the best mom in the world. She is very caring, loving and generous. She has taken in children from neglected and abused homes for over 10 years.

NEW JERSEY
Winner: Gisel W.
Mom: Lisette W.
Proclamation: I proclaim my mom to be the best mom ever. She had a stroke in 2003 that crippled her left arm. She also has lupus; no matter what my mother goes through she's always there for us kids. It's four of us and we haven't made it easy for her. My mom has gone through a lot with my siblings and I and then she surprised us all by enrolling in college. My mom has been out of school for over 20 years and is getting straight A’s in college. She's my inspiration.
