"She left us in the early morning, When softly comes the dawn, And since she never said good-bye, It's hard to think she's gone. Oh, how she left us weeping, Lonely and with weeping hearts; But we know the angels are keeping her, Where sweet joys will ne're depart. In our hearts the memory lingers, Sweetly, tender, fond and true, There's not a day, Dear Mother, That we do not think of you. Dearest Mother, you left us, Your smiling face we'll see no more, But we await the day we'll meet you again, On that Celestial Shore."

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, private family services will be held.
