A nurse, a teacher, a mother and a friend She was all of this and more right to the end. She was second a mother, but first a wife. But to us her children, she dedicated her life. She had eight children, three daughters and five sons and in our house, it was filled with laughter and fun. We were never spoiled, nor had lack of discipline, however, she would wipe away our tears and kiss our small little chin. First we lost our brother, then our dad. Due to this, mom's life became a little sad. She tried to be happy and so very proud. But inwardly her heart was crying out loud. It wasn't too long before her health was failing. But her love for us, her children, was still prevailing. As the days, the weeks and the years went on. In a small amount of time, mom herself was gone. Out of our sight and out of our touch she had depart. But never ever, far from each of our hearts. Her spirit still lingers and so does her love. But now she's an angel watching over us from above. We will always have each other, as sisters and brothers, along with the love, that was left behind, By OUR MOTHER.
