From her daughter, Lorraine:
Mommy, I love you, love you. I thank you for being the most wonderful Mom to me and Dom. I am truly heartbroken that you left me. I will miss us saying Goodbye and I love you 20 times when getting off the phone everyday. I will miss your smile, voice, laugh and your hugs. I hope you are dancing with Nana and Poppy in Heaven. Please watch over me and Brielle and I promise to continue to be the best Mom to Brielle as you were to me. Until we meet again my sweet, beautiful Mommy. I will love you always and forever.
The Magic of a Mother’s Touch
There’s magic in a Mother’s touch,
and sunshine in her smile.
There’s love in everything she does
to make our lives worthwhile.
We can find both hope and courage
Just by looking in her eyes.
Her laughter is a source of joy,
her works are warm and wise.
There is a kindness and compassion
to be found in her embrace,
and we see the light of heaven
shining from a Mother’s face.
