You were my neighbor, my friend, you and Mickey like my neighbor moms! Loved swimming in the pool while you & mom chatted. Loved all the BBQ's and New Years Parties we shared. Loved and respected you and George sooo much! I am sad you are gone but glad you are no longer suffering. Give hugs to George & Don and tell them "cd" is good. Love you.

You were the sunlight in my day,
You were the moon I see far away.
You were the tree I leaned upon,
You were the one that made troubles be gone.
You were the one who taught me life,
How not to fight, and what was right.
You were the words inside my song,
You were my love, my life, my mom.
You were the one who cared for me,
You were the eyes that helped me see.
You were the one who knew me best,
When it was time to have fun and time to rest.
You were the one who helped me to dream,
You heard my heart and you heard my screams.
Afraid of life but looking for love,
I'm blessed for God sent you from above.
You were my friend, my heart, and my soul
You were the greatest friend I know.
You were the words inside my song,
You were my love, my life, my mom.
Love you forever and ever mom!
Your Daughter
