For you, Mama
Life begins as a flower; Slowly blossoming with life's hour. Mama, Aunt Pet as she was lovingly called - a beautifulflower loved by all. Your smile, at some point, brightened all of our days. The love from your heart touched us in some small way. Now God has caused you to be at His side; Your soul has gone to Heaven, to always abide. Mama, now you are gone and hid to rest. We love you most, but God loves you best.
I Love You, MamaMonica
