Dorothy Specksgoor Memoriam
How do you say good-bye
To someone you love so much
My Mother
Was not just my Mom
She was everything to me
I never wanted to lose her
Even though someday
I knew I would
Each time you would become ill
I would ask a favor from above
Please just keep her close to me
I am not ready to lose her love
I knew that fate
Would come upon you
For that is something
I cannot change
You tried so hard
To hold on
To keep our love alive
As long as you could
The Lord decided
Your time was up
You had to say good-bye
To those you loved
You held on for me Mom
So I could say good-bye
For just one last time
I knew you had gone above
When a final tear
Shed from your eye
As I held your hand so tight
Your soul drifted out of sight
Your loving Daughter, Gina

To the Specksgoor family,
I have enjoyed speaking with your mom & your dad (before his passing) at some of our social events at our Mended Hearts group.
She was a lovely gal and will be missed.
