In the garden of our hearts, your love still grows,
A gentle light that warms us wherever life goes.
Your smile, your touch, the comfort you gave—
Are treasures we’ll carry beyond the grave.
Though Heaven called you home on Mother’s Day,
Your spirit lingers softly in every way.
We feel you in the quiet moments, in the morning light,
Guiding us with angel wings through every night.
We miss you deeply, more than words can say.
We’ll honor your memory, in our own families every single day.
Rest in peace, dear Mom—our hearts hold you near,
Until we meet again, we’ll love you forever, year after year.
We all miss her deeply. May this bring a little comfort.
