She was a kind, loving wife and mother and while on this earth devoted her life faithfully and wholly to them.
Our mother is dead;
God whispered in a hushed breath and said. "Thy work on earth is done."
Comfortably she lies and smiles,
She does not speak,
Our eyes are wet
Our shoulders shake
Our heads are bowed,
We weep.
But it is said,
"God's will is best and she is dead." --X.
