From Marsha:
Dear Mommy, I never thought the day would come that we would have to part so soon. The bond we shared was like no other. Full of laughs, tears, ups, and downs, but that was us. This is why I chose to write you a "Daughter' s
Promise".
A Daughter' s Promise
Every time that I smile, every time that I sigh, I see your face, and a tear escapes my eye
You were my world, my inspiration, and my heart But when you left me, I thought I would fall apart
You were my best friend, my true confidant
And that's not all, you were my mom I didn't want to live without you, but you would have wanted me to
And if there' s anyone I want to make happy, that anyone is you I would have given anything to have you back but know that is was meant
to be For you are still watching from up there and I know you're watching us
We' ll make you proud, we' re going to fulfill your wish You' re going to see us and smile. That's a daughter' s promise. We love you
Mama.

God looked around His garden And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed .YOur weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you But you dido't go alone,
For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
