Mom, you are one in a million,
No other can compare.
Anytime we needed you,
You were always there.
Your gentleness and caring ways
We have witnessed through the years;
It’s something we will not forget
As we pray through falling tears.
We love you more than anything –
Go with God and spread your wings.
-Connie Daul
