IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY DEAR MOTHER

I lost a mother with a heart of gold
Who was more to me than wealth untold
Without farewell she fell asleep
With only memories for me to keep

I have lost, but God has gained
One of the best mothers the world contained
Her heart was the truest in all the world
Her love the best to recall

For none of earth can take her place
She is still the dearest mom of all
If she could have spoken before she died,
These are the words she would have replied

"This life for me has truly passed
I've loved you to the very last
Weep not for me
But courage take
And love each other
For my sake. "

-- 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14 (NLT)
"13 And now, brothers and sisters,
I want you to know what will happen to the Christians who have died
so you will not be full of sorrow like people who have no hope.
14 For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again,
we also believe that when Jesus comes,
God will bring back with Jesus all the Christians who have died."
