Momma was the glue that held our family together...the center of our universe. She will be greatly missed but will remain in our hearts forever! To Momma A flame is out,the sun has set, You're in our hearts,we won't forget, Your inner strength, your will to live Your stubbornness,the love you give. The lessons taught, just being you, The things we shared between us two. You may have walked through heavens gates, But in our minds you won't escape. Our hearts are torn,our faces wet, Just "one more day" is our regret. We send our love for you to share To all our family waiting there. As we shed our tears and mourn our loss You are set free,you're at the cross. No more pain,now you can rest In your life on earth you did your best.
