Moms Is Gone

Most knew her as "Moms", but her name was Jackie. When she was on stage, she was very funny. Moms used to tell us about the good old days. Her jokes and wise cracks had us in a craze. Unfortunately, we will miss this funny lady. She received her calling and has gone away. Inspired by another member's poem

It's so sad to hear a very lovely person (especially a mom) who especially gives love and great joy in our heart; but then finally leave us. A sad but very beautiful poem and tribute my dear friend Robert. An outstanding poem indeed! I'll go and check out the link you've suggested below. Thank you so much and two thumbs up for this great dedication poem of yours! Thanks a lot for your precious time to read my poems & the inspiring comments. love and big hugs, Leonora

Hi Robert. I don't know who this is a reference to; however, laughter is a beautiful thing, and whoever brings a smile is to be appreciated. Nice poem in her memory.
