A prayer for you Mamma…we will all miss you immensely.

    God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be;
    So, he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come with Me.”
    With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. 
    Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. 
    A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. 
    God broke our hearts to prove to us HE only takes the best.
