I want to send a message to Marianna Forde today.
I thought why not through a poem there's no better way.
It will be delivered on that of angel wings.
For you, this is what my heart and soul brings.
I thought of you with great admiration and respect Because of everything you were as a human being it certainly did reflect.
You definitely were the best of mothers, Because I know 2 of your children, need I say any further.
I will end this message to you with this, I feel honored that I knew such an amazing woman - I send my goodbye with a hug and a kiss.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family.
