Momma, I loved you more than words could ever say. You were my shoulder to cry on, You listened, when I needed someone just to talk to. The Lord could not have blessed me with a better Mother, You were always there when I needed you, I will miss our flower shopping trips and eating out together. My Mother was a giving, kind woman with a heart of gold. Momma, I will miss you, until we meet again. Barbara
