A face that is always on my mind,
A smile I have seen a million times,
Two eyes that would light up the sky at night,
One last battle you could not fight,
The day was long, then night then morn.
I knew that soon you would be gone,
I clasped your hand so warm in mine,
Soon we would be out of time,
To stay with us you fought so hard, your
wish was for your family to never be apart ,
Now a photo I look at to see your smile,
I keep your number on my speed dial,
A voice recording I saved to hear your voice, This I do.... I have no choice.
But great memories I will always keep with me,
Your love in my heart for eternity,
Waiting in heaven from this moment on,
'Till God asks you to bring me home....
I love you Ma

I knew that soon you would be gone,
I clasped your hand so warm in mine,
Soon we would be out of time,
To stay with us you fought so hard,
to keep a promise (stay strong never be apart),
Now a photo I look at to see your smile,
I keep your number on my speed dial,
A video I watch to hear your voice,
This I do.... I have no choice.,
But great memories I will always keep with me,
Your love in my heart for eternity,
To understand why, I can but try,
Waiting in heaven from this moment on,
'Till God asks you to bring me home....
I love you Ma

Debbie, Karen and Chucky,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. She always lit up the room with her warm smile and fun personality. You all were blessed to have her as your mom and I'm sure she felt equally blessed to have you all as her children.
Stay strong during this time.
