The love of a mother will never die,
We will never forget you, we cannot lie.
You were known as being gentle but at times stern.
That look could make you smile or hide.
We are the people we are because of you.
Your spirit lives in us and shows in what we do,
Your smile and twinkle in your eyes lit up the sun.
You were both strong and gentle yet witty and fun.
Many will miss you, now that you are gone.
You will never be forgotten, your memory will live on.
We will shed tears and feel sorrow,
Today’s thoughts and prayers, will get us though the tomorrows.
Go rest and be at peace.
Your pain is now more happiness rhan any of us can fatham.
We love you Donna very much and you know we will all be together in our own times.
