Dear Charlie and Family;

You can only have but one mother,
Patient, kind, and true,
No other friend in the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all the loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall.
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
To our mother up above,
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
Your life was love and labor,
Your love for family true,
You did the your best for all of us,
We'll always remember you.

Our Sincere Condolences;
Richard and Fran Anderson
