To Mom
How very, very lucky we that you were our Mother
You opened up our minds and our hearts. 
You always had the time to tell us a story or sing us a song;
You always picked us up when we fell down. 
You will always be the most important lady in our lives;
Your love and guidance will always be with us. 
We wish you could have been with us longer,
But we are so grateful for the time we had. 
All of us, your family and friends will truly miss you.
Thank you so much for being our mother. 
May God care for you as you did for us.
