I know it has been six years since "Mom" went home, but memories are not meant to be forgotten. So below is a poem that was inside the memorial card.

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared

Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone.

It's all part of the master plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know.

Laugh at all the things we used to do

Miss me, but let me go.

 In response to this poem I have written the following one -

I write this with clouded eyes

Realizing you have gained the "prize"

No more to struggle down here below

You gained a world where all is aglow.

I wish I could have seen your face

As you felt the Saviours embrace

I am sure there was a twinkle in your eye

As he welcomed you home beyond the sky.

I'm sure your doing quite well up there

Away from this world and all its care

Just maybe your sitting and talking with Dad

Or walking those golden streets, now that makes me glad.

Whatever it is your doing

I want to let you know

Your being missed like crazy

But I have chosen to let you go!

So look around at all your friends, and realize that this life will soon end

What is your purpose of friendship as time with them you spend?
