  “We Lost A Mother” 

We lost a mother with a heart of gold, How much we miss her can never be told                     

She shared our troubles and helped us along. If we follow her footsteps we will never go wrong.

We miss you from your fireside chair, Your loving smile and gentle air.

Your vacant place no one can fill

We miss you mother and always will. She was a mother so very rare

Content in her home and always there. On earth she toiled, in Heaven she rests,

God bless you mother; you were one of the best.

Each time we look at your picture

You seem to smile and say, Don’t be sad but courage take

And love each other for my sake. O Sweet Jesus, for the sake of Thy Bitter Passion

And the sorrow of Thy Immaculate Mother

Have mercy on her soul and let the light of thy countenance shine upon her.

Banay “Nay” “Ma” Fentress, 61
