To Our Mother
1st Anniversary
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass 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.
God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.
We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again someday, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.
You can only have one mother Patient kind and true; No other friend in the entire world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, to mother you will return, for all her loving kindness, she asks nothing in return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, of a face so full of sunshine, and a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, To our dear mother up above; Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our love. 
Thank you Mom
Without you, mom where would I be?
Through hard times you were there for me.
A heavenly look always in your eyes.
And with your love you strengthened twelve children's lives.
You raised me up the best you could.
And taught me all you know about good.
You were strong through all the stress I caused.
You were always willing to put your life on pause.
So I thank you mom for always being there for me.
Because without you where would I be?
I miss momma
I awake each morning to start a new day but the pain of losing you never goes away. I go about the things I have to do and as the hours pass I think again of you. I want to call you and just hear your voice Then I remember that I have no choice For you are not there and now my heart cries Just to see you again to tell you goodbye To say Mama I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in me you've instilled. The day that you left I just didn't know that you were going where I couldn't go. And now all my memories of you are so dear but I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry? It so hard to tell you, "Mama Goodbye." Someday I know all will be well and I'll see you again with stories to tell of how you were missed and how we have grown and how good it is to finally be home. Until then my memories of you I'll keep near and I'll pass them on to those who are dear.
I love you, Marjorie
Light a Candle
Lighting a candle for someone you loved and lost, shines out light out to them, and warms you near.
light a candle, see it glow, watch it dance, when you feel low, think of me,
think of light, I'll always be here, day or night, a candle flickers, out of sight,
but in your heart, I still burn bright, think not of sadness, that I'm not near,
think of gladness, and joyous cheer, I have not left, I am not gone, I'm here to stay my little one, so when you light a candle and you see it glow and you watch it dance in your heart you'll know that I would never leave you even when you feel so blue I'm sitting up here with the Lord and now watching over you. 
Thank You
To be a mother is not an easy task, Yet you did it proudly everyday no matter what was asked , You have turned your baby into a beautiful young lady.
You were there for me since the very beginning and saved me countless tears
The pushy and wise advice you gave will carry me through the years.
With my every mistake or wrongful deed, You were always there to understand.
You put no limits on my dreams or anything else I wish to do. You never forget to say you care or that you love me to. The smile and tears upon your face when I achieve provides me with more value In my heart then you’d ever believe.
There is no other person that will shape my heart the way you’ve done,
Your job finished perfectly for your precious daughters and sons.
We have had a rocky road through triumph and catastrophe, hard time and despair, But not a single moment of time of not having a wonderful mother there.
You have always put in your last with love and my whole life is not enough time for me to repay you. We always put our disagreements to the side and manage to make it through.
I know that my teen years have driven you crazy but you have guided me with assurance along the way. You have given me comfort and certainty with every breath I take within the day.
Your little girl is grown but your baby girl will always remain deep inside me.
There are not enough words that can thank you for everything you have helped me emotionally and physically.
I have my whole future ahead of me and you are the women that has leaded me and guided me towards the proper path.
How can one simple day prove that much thanks and love to someone who has pushed this far and continually worked her way?
I will always love you and think of you each day that God allows me to breath! Marjorie
