To an illness you fought so well.
Oh, how much we miss you.
Our love for you did swell.
The happiness you brought us.
We never will forget.
Your spirit and your talents,
Kindness to everyone you met.
Christmas was a lonely time.
Without you to bring us love.
We know that you were with us.
From your new home up above.
This big old house is lonely.
Without you to warm it up.
You left us way too early.
You were really just a pup.
Mom I really miss you,
More than words could ever say.
I’ll love you now and always.
And never forget this special day.
The cooking and the quilting.
How much you knit and sew.
Oh! How much it hurt us,
To have to let you go.
I hope Heaven has birds and horses,
Which you have always loved.
You fought cancer like a trouper.
And now you are a dove.
Since that awful day.
When you said goodbye to us
And God took you away.
The past two Christmases without you,
Were surely not the same.
Good things always follow
Whenever we hear your name.
We still miss you Dearly
And we still love you so.
You graced us with your presence
More than you’ll ever Know.
I’m doing so much better
Than when you saw me last.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been so long
The time goes by so fast.
