I've written the one's about / 'll be right back, or I 'm sorry but never one like this, / love you and anyone that know me knows that you were my back bone, my strength and my pride. You've ne\'er turnedyour back on me regardless if I was right or wrong. You are a precious pearl that has been laid to rest. I f I could tell you one last thing or see your smile, I would want you to know Momma, my life will never be the same! 1 knew this day had to come, but / had pictured you being here always. I never imagine this day would be so soon. Momma thank you fo r all you ve donefo r me. Thank you for being therefor me. Thank you for belie\'ing in me when e\'ery one else doubted me.
