Poem

Mother/Grandmother

As the warmth drained from your body, We knew we would forever miss our mommy. Your smile, your lipstick imprinted on our cheeks, the smell of your sweet perfume these are the memories that will always resume.. in our hearts and in our minds. Until we meet again and feast with the Devine, we will cherish your memories that you so left behind. Until we meet again, we will look up to the sky, forever in our hearts and NEVER forgotten... our ANGEL on earth, flew up to the mountains. We love and miss you always! Your Family
