On this Mother’s Day we remember with love
the mothers beside us and those above.
Those who guide us still each day,
and those whose love never fades away.

And gently we pray for the hearts who grieve.
May loving memories bring comfort,
and may the love she gave you
remain forever in your heart.

Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven💕
