To honor mothers around Montgomery County, Patch asked users to upload photos of their moms and leave a comment about what makes them so great. The heartfelt expressions of love and gratitude made it too hard to choose, so Patch randomly chose a winner.

And the winner of our best mom contest is... drumroll, please... Nneka St. Gerard.

Her husband, Henroit, nominated his wife for the contest!

Nneka will receive a $50 VISA gift card. Look for a post later on Patch that showcases photos of moms throughout the state of Maryland.

Thank you to all of the entrants and Patch wishes all of the local moms a happy Mother's Day!

Just because the contest is over doesn't mean it's too late to share your best memories. Upload photos and videos or tell everyone in the comments why your mom is the best.
