“To our mom. In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away. You suffered much in silence, you fought so hard to stay. You faced your tasks with courage, your spirit did not bend. But still you kept on fighting, until the end. God saw you were getting tired, when a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, Come to me.” Your loving family
