My mother has passed and went to heaven.
Left on this earth her children of seven.
One left early when he was small.
Now he's in heaven grown big and tall.
She has left this world and hasn't been gone long.
We will feel the hurt and pain but we'll stay strong.
You will be remembered and missed on your way to heaven.
Sending her our love and kisses her children of seven.

This is such a touching tribute to your mother, Teresa. I'm glad she lived long enough to see her grandchildren and some of her great grandchildren. Beautifully written, dear. Congratulations on your win in Deb's contest! Love, Carolyn

Sorry to hear of your mother passing away. I lost my father only about five months later. He was just three months younger than your mother. Congratulations on attaining honorable mention with this entry.
