Mommy Dearest you will always be My mother so loving and so loved by me For God has taken you to be by His side Now in Heaven is where you will reside You have blessed my life in so many ways I will cherish our memories until the end of my days You left me too soon and this was not part of our plan But God's wishes always come before those of man. Without you I must travel the path alone No longer my guide, the way you had shown Your heart may have been weak, but you were strong For your loving embrace I will always long. God sent you to me as a special gift from above to teach me life's lessons and shower me with your love I will always remember your beautiful and smiling face In my heart you will always have a very special place. A special bond we shared like no other I thanked God for each day we were able to share. But without you in my life it is j too difficult to bear. Being with God,I hope you will find joy and peace. In this I can find comfort and some happiness at least. For Mommy Dearest you will always be My Mother so loving by me. t S m O Charles Porter Ladron Porter Kenyatta Fennell Damien Porter Irving Whitfield Antoine Brown, Sr. Grandsons Women of the United House of Prayer for All People The family would like to thank everyone for their cards, flowers, and phone calls.
