Poem We are selfish by wanting you to stay, When all you wanted was for the pain to go away,
We prayed one prayer, while you prayed another, How marvelous our God is, that he answered yours;
Our dearest mother and grandmother. We will miss you, now that you are gone, but
through our thoughts, and prayers, your memories will live on.
We Love you, and will miss you dearly.
