OUR MOTHER

Thank you God for letting Mother Erie/ be our mother.

She taught us how to love and to care for each other as sisters should. She constantly dwelled on the theory "Build your dreams on hope, faith
and hue." We learned to cry when there was hurt and to have sorrow for others when there was trouble. We learned to think and how to survive in
periods of both poverty and prosperity. Her ultimate aim seemingly was to instill in us a love for work, as well as a love for each other.

Willingly and happily she fed, clothed, taught, encouraged, reprimanded and inspired us with her own special touch. She had an endless supply of love and she gave it freely. No matter what the circumstances were she was always able to come through it with a smile. She taught us to pray and to wait on the blessings of the Lord.

God blessed us with the greatest miracles and we want to thank him for lending our mother to us.

We learned from you, Mother dear, to appreciate and to remember those who made worthy contributions to our lives.

May God grant you peaceful rest, Mother of ours.

Respectfully submitted
