In Loving Memory of Our Mother

You took us in when we were young.

You made me your daughter and Jackie your son.

Life for us five was something brand new.

We were now a family, and you loved us too.

Oh what times we had, both good and bad.

But we remained a family, whether happy or sad.

When Dad and Kay passed, a part of my heart was gone.

But I needed to be there for you just as you had once done.

The time has come to rejoin Dad and Kay.

Don't worry my heart, we will be okay.

We love you Ma. Rest in peace and power!
