All of my life, I have been waiting for just one voice, And all of my life, I have been waiting for all the joy,
Of having someone that I can call my own. Who'll come to my side when I am all alone.
And now you are here, and I have found a whole new world has opened for me. A world full ofjoy, a world full of all your love eternally! For you say your mine, you'lllove me all the time, night and day, come what may.
And all of my life you will be my all.
We Love you Momma

We are never quite prepared to face life's darkest hours alone. At such times the thoughtful expressions of friends and family, in so many ways, makes the dawn come quicker, the burden lighter, and the cross seem easier to bear. Every prayer, visit, card, flower, and many acts of kindness that have been shown to us are deeply appreciated. We are thankful for your kindness.
The Family
