Precious Mother, you were always true and faithful to the old rugged cross, now you have exchanged it for your crown.
Visitation begins Thursday, 2:00-9:00 p.m.
To my Mother
You held me when I cried.
You kissed my cuts and bruises.
You comforted me when I was sick
And prayed and nursed me back to health
You wept at my defeats
And applauded me in my victories.
You were my greatest champion
And were always my best friend.
Mother, I love you always
And I wish you were here, now
To hold me while I weep
I refuse to say Goodbye!
Thank you for being the best mother
A daughter could ever have!
