Mother
You care for us when we are ill You always make us smile
You always have a cheerful word
That makes the day worthwhile
You're never very far away
We hold each memory near
Wherever we may go in life
We love you, Mother dear...
You are now safe in the arms of
Jesús. Until we meet again, I'll love
You always and forever ❤❤❤

I will truly miss you so much. You have always been a constant in my life and in my sisters and brothers life. We would talk about God and his word, world events and our family. When Mom transitioned in 2022, you kept in touch with us consistently and it helped us get through the grieving process. I will never forget how you loved us. I will miss your Christmas cards and your birthday cards. You were faithful in sending them. Not just to us but to our family. Whenever we would come to town...
