To my Mom
through the years you wiped away our tears and helped to quiet our fears.
To face life’s test, to be our best.
You thrilled in each of our little successes and comforted all our distresses.
Raising children was your greatest joy, for you loved each boy and girl.
Your patience was untold as you welcomed more to your fold.
First our friends, then spouses and finally as children filled our house.
Your loving embrace knew no end; it welcomed those who needed a friend.
Watching your expanding family tree that’s where we thought you’d always be.
Although you will be missed, we can guarantee you this……..
Your spirit, your love and your wonderfulness will carry on without a miss.
Because you see, you left a living legacy….
Love you every day and will alway love you and always fill as if your still with me..
your son Chuckie
