How did Saint Augustin describe his mother?

The most beautiful words said by Saint Augustine (the Son of Tears) about his mother, Saint Monica: “My mother was a woman in her appearance… A man in her faith… An elder in her wisdom… A mother in her tenderness… A Christian in her piety… After all this, is it too much for me to shed tears for an hour for the one who soaked her bed with tears every night for me until I repented?”
