We wish to thank the Sunshine Terrace for the loving care they have given her in her last days. God?s Mothers God gave us each a Mother,
The sweetest friend we?ve had. I wonder if we live ?
In a way that makes her glad. Or is her dear heart saddened
By the things that we have done.
We should love her and protect her,
God gave us only one. She?s there when she is needed,
She helps and cheers us on.
Tell Mother that you lover her - She needs courage to go on. Because we know she loves us,
We oft?times do forget
To show how much we lover her ? To pay her due respect. Sometime our Mother will be gone
?Tis then we?ll sit and sigh;
And we will pray to God ?
We?ll meet her, bye and bye. God has heard our Mother?s prayers,
To help us each day through.
As long as life shall last ? Your Mother will love you. - Vesta Kimble
