Our Mother

Our beautiful mother who gave us life, you inspired us with your love, your strength, your grace, faith, and love for life.

Our warrior, our cheerleader, our Queen Bee, Our Mother for life.

You were taken from us; we were not ready to say goodbye but on that day the lord gained an angel by calling you to be by his side.   

We know in body you are gone but your spirit remains. For you will continue to be our guiding light our angel in the sky until we meet and are together again.

Weep not for me though I am gone Into that gentle night

Grieve if you will, but not for long

Upon my soul’s sweet flight

I am at peace, my soul’s at rest

There is no need for tears.

For with your love I was so blessed

For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not,

The fear now all is gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife

Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life.
