Salaam (Peace)To All:
A Mother like Mary, Allah God created her to be. Sacrifices were many for her family she did joyously. She nurtured and taught us in the womb with songs of praise, her prayers to the Father from her mind, heart and mouth she did raise. She fed many on pennies, and gave thankful prayer through a song. She took many in and kept all from harm. She dedicated her life to her family. Such a sweet, sweet spirit as anyone could ever be. Allah God gave us her as a gift for a 100 plus years. The joy of her many memories make us smile through the tears. She touched many hearts with her wisdom and grace. Just thinking of her places a smile on my face. When a life is lived like hers, the children don't have to worry. We are blessed beyond measure from having had this mother like Mary.
Love, Your daughters, Barbara 'Bobbie' and Jean 'Jeanie'
