Do you remember sewing me a shirt?
Even ironing my clothes and church skirt?
So much you have done for our family, sticking through thick and thin.
Even through your daughters' childbirths you provided maternal love and support,
which has no end.
Reading the bible to us around the table, you conducted a family bible study.
Very creative and thoughtful, no one attended school looking like a fuddy-duddy.
Everything you have done in your life, I know that God will reward you.
Even volunteering for different functions, also in the church you participated,
working many hours. Diamonds, sapphires, and all the world's riches are what you
deserve.
