"A mothers love has no beginning, nor end. In her lies the strength to persevire through trials and tribulation, through heartache and sorrow. Within her is the ability to encompass all around her and fill them with her love, be they family or friends. And when she is called home, she shall stand at the right hand of God, where her sweet voice shall be added to the great chorus of all mother's who have gone before her."
"Let none forget, nor mourn her, for she is is the sweet fragrance of spring flowers, the cool wind that caresses your face, the gentle rain, the song of birds, a child's laughter, the warmth of a fire on a chilled winter day. For she is as perpetual, as her love, which will endure until all of the stars in heaven grow cold."
