In Lieu of flowers, the family asks you spend time with your family, as this was so important to their mother.

Mama

Her heartbeat was my very first sound,

Her kiss my first affection,

Her loving arms brought security,

Her instruction, clear direction.

I owe the person I’ve become

to her unselfish love.

There’s comfort knowing she’s not gone.

She lives with God above..
