A mother exhales her last breath, leaving behind two daughters and a husband. Her body and soul now at rest, As they stand at her bedside, all hand in hand. The tears run hard, As they remember her shining smile. Why had her life been dealt this card? With open arms, the Lord now awaits her arrival. With all our love to an amazing mother and wife. Rick, Tami and Jody. MEMORIAL CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME
