Ma-Ma, oh Ma-Ma,
You made countless sacrifices
so we may have a good life
and we remember that for you today,
this Mother's Day
There were choices and decisions
that had to be made along the way
Some of which we may never know,
but all in their sum total,
were best for the time
You are in our hearts and in our minds
With ALL our love, sending you
the peace you so deserve
WE WISH YOU WERE HERE
April 6, 2018
These days I seem to think a lot
about the things I forgot to do for you
and all the times I had a chance to
Remembrances of
the event 67 years ago
when you joined hearts in Holy Matrimony
Warms the heart with an example
of one true love forever
We are so so blessed
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
February 12, 2018
VALENTINE DAY
There is an aching
in my heart
That finds me

Makes me wonder
Why
All I do is cry
And
How long can I
Go on

If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love her and miss her.
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy.
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing her today.

Thoughts about Momma on Mother's Day;
She traveled the journey before you
She has known all the costs of the way
She paid the price to its fullness,
that Motherhood only can pay.
She loved when the world was against you,
She hoped,......when your hope sank
and died.
She clung to your hand when the clinging,
left scars in her heart, deep and wide.
She labored,....and loved,....and was happy,
for down deep in her kind heart
she knew
Your kindness and love would repay her
for all that she did,......
just for you.
Forever grateful for the sacrifices made to make this family.
Missing you today and everyday,... so we keep you in our heart.
April 7, 2017
On this special day of the year our thoughts turn to the observation of your 66th wedding anniversary.
Tremendous providers of family values and guidance you sacrificed much and did an admirable job of raising us to
the best of your ability.
You gave us a quality of life not commonly found in families of our number and I know all are grateful for that.
Your legacy now has reaped the benefits of all your hard work
and we count our blessings, Mom and Dad.
Thank You,....... we love you, and miss you very much
St. Jude is so special I want to give back. They took such great care of you Mom
