Or sat quietly in a chair.

Just thought o f o f us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts,

We thank you so much whatever the part.

Mommie New
We love Mommie New, yes we loved her, But God loved her more
A nd He has swiftly called her To yonder's shining shore
The golden gates were opened A gentle voice said come
A n d with farewell unspoken Mommie New calmly released her ticket
A nd entered her heavenly home.
