I will never forget you being the made of honor in my wedding. You did my hair, you did everything for me for my wedding,,,,, Thank you so much! You were so unselfish, i wish to be more like you someday! I will never forget you decorated Shaun and I's Honeymoon suite for us. You put roses all over our room, decorated in candles it was so beautiful, no one could have done a better job. I miss you soo much. We have soo many memories. Like when you told mom and me you were pregnant with derek. You were picking me up from school, and you were in the passenger seat you told me i was going to be a Auntie i jumped up from the backseat and gave you the biggest hug. I dont think i have ever told you thank you for being you and bringing so much sunlight in our family. Besides the gift of you, you have given me the most precious gift and thats my nephews i never told you thank you for that so THANK YOU!!!!!! I LOVE YOU AND WE MISS YOU SOO MUCH!!!!! I cant find the picture of you doing my hair for my wedding but i will look for it!!!!!!!

Even now we hear your voice
Leaving us was never our choice.
We have to learn to smile anew
without the greatest gift of you.
Within a touch, a kiss a glance
You fell in love without a chance
A life you made and grew up right
Because of you they sleep tonight
A single breath is hard to take
And still we do, but for thier sake
Your little loves, your precious start
That once you held beneath your heart.
We see your smiles in every turn
we hear your laugh, and still we yearn
For just a touch, a look a glance
If only God would give that chance.

OH MOTHER WHY MUST GO
OH MOTHER WHY MUST GO
PLEASE COME BACK WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND MUSCLE
MISSING GOODNIGHTS AND MORNINGS, PLUS HUGS AND KISSES
KNOWING AT NIGHT NO PHONE CALL HASN’T RANG
MORNINGS, KNOWING I’M NEVER GOING TO SEE YOUR
BEAUTY, AND LOVE AGAIN BUT AT NIGHT A SHOOTING STAR APPEARS
AND LOVE FILLS MY HEART
OH MOTHER WHY MUST GO, PLEASE COME HOME WITH ALL YOUR LOVE
