Margaret, or more commonly called “MOM” by most who knew her, will always be remembered for her love of family. Her warm smile and caring hand. Her always open door for friends and family and the countless sacrifices she has made for others who were in need. Mom has touched the lives of many and for all of us who were blessed with mom’s love and friendship. We all share the mark she put on our hearts.
I Miss You Mom
A thousand words could not bring you back.
I know I tried,
A thousand tears could not bring you back.
I know because I cried.
I miss you Mom, although your soul is at rest,
The world would be like heaven if
I had you back again.
Your always in my thoughts no matter where
I go, always in my heart because I love
You so. However long my life might last,
Whatever land I view, whatever joy or
Grief is mine. I still remember you.
We all really miss you mom.
