A humble soul with a heart that grew weak
Time that was gifted, etching memories to keep
Your radiant smile will forever keep us warm

Love couldn't keep you here any longer
Your angel wings arrived silent now colder
Fly high now Mum in the the arms of those waiting
Rest in peace with love mo ake tonu atu
