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...
