Herrera -- In Loving Memory of MARY JANE HERRERA Mothers are a gift from God They're there for us each day and here are but a choice few words That we would like to say. You cared for us when we were young and did all that you could. You dried our tears When we were hurt As every Mother should. The warmth of love that you displayed We'll carry in our heart. We knew a day like this would come When we would have to part. The pain we feel in losing you Is felt beyond belief But we'd rather release you into the hands of God Then see you suffer grief. Our vision now of you sweet Mom Is an Angel at each side That have come to usher you where God does now abide Our parting of our ways has come And a new life for you begins So we bid adew to you dear Mom Until we meet again.
