In Memorium
Gone is a wonderful mother,
One whom we'll never forget;
One who was patient and kind,
Who bore her trial without regret.
Her brood of nine small children,
No longer she'll tuck in their bed;
But we know the dear God Almighty
Is watching over their heads.
O Mother, dear, we know full well,
That none can take your place,
And the smile you always wore,
Still lingers on your face.
