There are times only when a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's Love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above...

Thank you Mom for all the Love, I am proud to be called your daughter. Until we see each other again.

Love,
Joy Michelle

I think the thing that stands out most in my memories of Darlene is how faithful she was while my husband was in the hospital. We always knew Darlene was praying for his recovery. She was an intercessor for many and her loss will be felt by many.
