" HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA "


THERE'S A PARTY TODAY IN HEAVEN
FOR IT'S OUR MOMMA'S BIRTHDAY
SHE'S SPENDING IT WITH ANGELS
IN THE CLOUDS SO FAR AWAY

SHE'LL BE SITTING WITH OUR LORD
AT THE TABLE IN THE SKY
SHARING WITH OUR LOVED ONES
THAT JOINED HER BY & BY

SHE'S A VERY SPECIAL ANGEL
FOR SHE WAS AN ANGEL ON EARTH TOO
RAISING ELEVEN CHILDREN
DOING THE BEST THAT SHE COULD DO

SUCH A KIND AND LOVING MOTHER
SHE NEVER LET US DOWN
SHE ALWAYS HAD A LOVING SMILE
AND NEVER WORE A FROWN

SHE WAS STRONGER THAN ANY ROCK
A WOMAN THAT STOOD SO PROUD
SHE WORKED AND HELPED ALL OTHERS
A BRIGHT LIGHT IN ANY CROWD

SO MANY THERE TO SHARE THIS DAY
WITH THE WOMAN WE LOVE SO DEAR
OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS ARE SITTING WITH HER
BUT A NEW ANGEL JOINED HER THIS YEAR

THE BELLS OF HEAVEN WERE RINGING
THE ANGELS WERE SINGING TOO
GOD LOOKED AT OUR MOMMA AND SAID,
" I HAVE A SPECIAL PRESENT FOR YOU"

I'VE BEEN SAVING IT FOR SOMETIME
HE ARRIVED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO
BUT I KNEW HOW PRECIOUS THIS GIFT IS
SO I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

" HE'S COMING NOW TO JOIN YOU,"
HER HEART FILLED WITH JOY
THEN, CHRIS WALKED TO HER LOVING ARMS
IT WAS JUDY'S LITTLE BOY

SHE WELCOMED HIM TO HEAVEN
SHE HELD HIM OH SO TIGHT
SHE SAID, " DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR MOMMA, CHRIS
SHE'LL JOIN US WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT "

"BUT, MAMAW WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
UNTIL YOUR MOMMA ARRIVES
WE'LL WATCH OVER HER TOGETHER
TILL SHE JOINS US IN THE SKY "

" NOW, LET'S GO AND CELEBRATE
FOR TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY
YOU'RE THE GREATEST GIFT I COULD RECEIVE
THOUGH YOU'VE COME SO FAR AWAY

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE SPECIAL TODAY
IT'S LIKE YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO
FOR YOU HAVE RECEIVED A GIFT FROM GOD
ETERNAL LIFE WAS GIVEN TO YOU "

" NOW, WE GO AND JOIN THE OTHERS
AND WAIT FOR THE REST TO COME
THEN WE'LL CELEBRATE THEIR BIRTHDAYS
WHEN THEIR TIME ON EARTH IS DONE "

THOUGH OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN, MA
WE'RE REALLY GLAD TO KNOW
THAT CHRIS IS IN YOUR LOVING ARMS
AND YOU'LL NEVER LET HIM GO

WE THANK YOU SO MUCH MOMMA
FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE
WE'LL SOMEDAY BE SITTING WITH YOU
AND BESIDE GOD'S LOVING SON

YOU ARE OUR BEAUTIFUL MOMMA
AND WE'D JUST LIKE TO SAY
"HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN, MA,
WE'LL JOIN YOU SOME BRIGHT DAY



OUR ETERNAL LOVE FOREVER,
YOUR DAUGHTERS,
EDNA, DARLENE, JUDY & BRENDA








Our Mother

Ma was the most loving, devoted and caring woman on earth. Our Daddy died in 1958 and left her to raise 11 children. She struggled and worked hard all her life. We never heard her complain one time throughout our years of growing up. She was the strongest woman we know and if I could be 1/10th of the woman she was, I would have no problems. She always managed to get everything we needed and never let us down. She was sick alot through the years, but it never stopped her. She ignored her own pain and suffering just to keep our household going. She never asked for anything from anybody, but was always there for others. She was the most amazing person God ever created. We thank God for giving her to us. We miss you Mom and will always love you.


We'll See You In Heaven,
Love Judy, Darlene, Linda,Edna, Brenda & Robert

UPDATE: IN AUGUST 2007, OUR BROTHER ROBERT JOINED OUR MOTHER IN HEAVEN & 13 DAYS LATER OUR SISTER LINDA JOINED HER ALSO. THEY WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR HEARTS.
