Cant believe i have lost you,you were my mam and my best friend,i cant believe i wont get a phone call anymore at 8.40 at night off you saying good night and god bless and how much you love me so this poem is for you mam from the bottom of my heart love you so much mam good night and god bless💔
You only have one mother,
Patient,kind and true,
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you,
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kidness,
She asks nothing in return,
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all,
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above,
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.

Your loving daughter and Son-in-Law Julie & Peter💔💔
