To our dear Nana so
patient, kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same as you.
For all your loving kindness,
You asked for nothing in return;
As we look upon your golden book,
we wish just one more page to turn.
To our dear mother at heaven's gate,
we cherish those sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
We will never forget those precious rides,
to games, and special times that always kept us close,
to you our mother's loving side.
Please know you're with us daily in all we say and do,
and know that nothing will replace the love we have for you.
