We had a wonderful mother, and that's the way it will always be. But take heed, because she's still keeping an eye on all of us. So lets make sure she likes what she sees. She will be missed dearly but never forgotten. In our hearts is where she will always be. We love and miss you very much. You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all shes left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that shes gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want. Smile, Open your eyes, Love, And go on. Shes was a mother of 16 children, survived with 5 daughters and 8 sons,38 grandkids, and 27 great grand kids.
