TO A DEAR AND LOVING MOTHER
WHO'S TIME HAS COME AND GONE
CAME TO ME IN BUT A DREAM
THAT GOD HAS CALLED HER HOME
DON'T CRY FOR ME , I'M HAPPY NOW
SHE SMILED AND SAID GOOD NIGHT
I'M GOING TO A BETTER PLACE
AS SHE WALKED INTO THE LIGHT
I'D LIKE TO LEAVE A MEMORY
OF THE TIMES I'VE SHARED WITH YOU
I LIVED A LIFE OF NO - REGRET
AND DID WHAT I CAME TO DO
DON'T WORRY NOW, I'LL BE ALRIGHT
I KNOW WE HAVE EACH OTHER
I'LL LOOK DOWN ON YOU EVERY NIGHT
YOUR DEAR AND LOVING MOTHER.

My heart is saddened to hear of your loss. My memories of Ms. Leola and Mr. Moses goes back to my early childhood years. I will always remember them both as treating me with such kindness. May the family find comfort in your memories and the Word of God.(Matt 5:4) My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
