I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
I feel again the bitter blow,
that never should have came.
Each morning when I awake,
I know that you are gone,
No one knows, the heartache
As I try to carry on.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you, Mom
No one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you
Your place no one can fill,
In life I loved you dearly, Mom.
They say that time heals everything,
But I know it isn’t so.
Because it hurts just as much today,
As it did a year ago.
Our family seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Lovingly remembered & sadly missed by Thelma’s family, children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ~ Psalm 23, a psalm of David.
