In Remembrance of Our Mother
On, Madear, how we love you, you were so very dear to us. You left us with aching hearts and eyes all filled with tears. No one can fill your place. You taught us how to love the Lord. And trust in his saving Grace. You'll always be with us in spirit. Now you have joined the heavenly throne to receive your rich reward. We knew you had to leave us one day, we know you couldn't stay always.
