I want to share this Poem with my family and friends because I think it perfectly states the loss of our mother:

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you, and whispered Come to Me.
With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best."

Mama, I thank God that he gave me you as a mother. You taught us to show Love and Compassion and to do you best to do the right thing, Thanks Mama, I Love You and I miss you, but you will always be in my Heart.
