Henrietta

7/31/39 - 1/28/14 Though I'm saddened by her untimely passing , I won't question God or continue asking , Why he chose the time why he chose that day, To again remind us that we should pray... Not because it's the only chance To remember mom in a lasting glance, As eleven children hold hand in hand, Until heaven gives us the strength to stand... She taught us what every mother should, So my sisters and all my brothers could, Take this moment not as it was her last , But so we own it as it begins to pass... To the many cries heard beyond the pews Would you dry your eyes and begin anew, Cause it's her life she wants us to Celebrate That only death can somehow commemorate. ... As we give her back to the place we came, Please remember more than her face and name, She's my everything and she will always be, The best of anything that you will see in me...
