"A Mother's Love"
(By Joyce Brincefield-Sanders)
gj|M\......M

/

A Mother's Love is deeper than any ocean and higher than any mountain. A Mother's Love is always present and endearing. A Mother's Love gives you peace in restless times and comfort during hard times. A Mother's Love provides a light in a narrow path and joy for all life's pleasures. A Mother's Love is everlasting.

Mom, we do not mourn you, but we cherish all the memorable moments we shared together. We will always remember your smile, laughter, determination to get things done, your prayers and your commitment to God.

Although we may cry, they are tears o f joy and comfort knowing you are in a place you prayed, talked and taught about. Mom we give God the praises for your life.

Love Always,

Your Children and Granddaughter

James, Joyce (Reginald) and Shelbi

Psalm 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord fo re v e r
