A tribute to our mother
Who we all loved so dear
God took her home to Heaven
He needed her more than we did here.
Her life was full of sunshine
So busy all the time
Always so brave and helpful
And courage so sublime.
There is left a place so vacant
No one else can fill
But we will need to say
It must have been God’s will.
