MOM

The house it seems so empty
And the tears they flow with ease
The cats have stopped their pacing
They too must feel your peace

Kathy,Grace, and I kept vigil

Our hearts would break a little more
Losing one so dear

Yes, indeed our hearts are broken
And our eyes well up with tears
For that special,gentle woman
Is no longer living here

Still so brave and stoic...

A bit of news, and comfort
Now we know each other’s fine

You taught me strength and beauty
Through many trials throughout the years
You faced your final moments
Still trying to dry our tears

We’ve always been together
Tho’...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

I love you Mom! Reality is not yet mine. You were the absolute rock in our family and I will miss you so much. Because of you I have obtained a closeness with my sisters that can never be shattered. Thank you mom!
