I cry everyday
My heart's torn into
I'm crying for me
Not crying for you.
I miss you so much
But I let you go
Didn't want you to leave
So selfish I know.
I think of you often
I try to be strong
But tears keep on coming
It all seems so wrong.
The love of my life
Is at peace at last
Rest with the angels
My pain too shall pass.

I miss you Momma. Save me a seat. Love Always and Forever...Jodi 'Chelle

I love you, Momma. I know you'll be watching over me (and all of us). Until we meet again...I love you and I will miss you. Thank you for all you have given to me. Especially your love. Always, Tammy

Mammaw was an amazing woman as evidenced by the family she created. May everyone find comfort knowing she is in God's hands. I am certain my mother welcomed her with open arms through the gates of Heaven. Our love to you all.
