Adalynn said her mother is a hero.
"I just want to hear your voice. I want to hug you one last time and I want to feel the calluses on your hands because you were not only a teacher during the day but the most hardworking cross fitter in the afternoon.”
Adalynn revealed her mother always called her daughter when she finished work.
"I want everything back. I want you to come back to me mom," she continued.
Adalynn said she misses her mum more than words can explain.
She added, "Thank you for the best times of my life. Thank you for being my best friend.
"Thank you for being the best mom anyone could ask for.”
She promised to take care of her father and their dogs.
"I will forever say your name so you are always remembered, Eva Mireles, a 4th-grade teacher at Robb Elementary who selflessly jumped in front of her students to save their lives."
The grief-stricken daughter said her heart will forever be broken.
"I want to thank you mom, for being such an inspiration to me. I will forever be so proud to be your daughter. My sweet mommy, I will see you again."
