In memory of her late beloved son Jim, to his beloved Mother, this letter:
"My Dearest Mom"
It was a blessed day when my daddy took you as his wife.
You raised three children to be with you during your life.
Oh! The hard times, the ups and downs, the laughing, the crying, the tears.
Because of you we preserved and we made it through those tough years.
Then you turned those tough years into golden years and now everyday having you is a blessed day.
Because of your love, your kindness through the years, you would not have it any other way.
Mom you are the cornerstone, the matriarch of our family.
And we love you so much,
Our precious mother,
Jim
