Mother,
I have my remembrance alter for you mother, it burns a candle every night. I think of you every day and hold the precious memories to my heart. You were my guiding rock throughout my life, you were the most loving and compassionate example for me and gave me strength to be a strong woman. I strive to emulate your simplicity in my daily life. I will miss you the remaining days of my life, but know you will greet me at heaven's door someday. My tears run smoothly down my face, but God will lift me, I know his grace.
My loving mother, words can't explain, the heartfelt love and lonely pain.....I feel. Your "little one",
Sylvia
