Virginia Lynn Franklin

As children, we can't comprehend

or fully realize the meaning of our

parent's love, how tender and how wise.

The patience and forgiveness that are

part of every day, the unexpected "little things"

they do in their own way. Years go by before

we can look back on life and see through older

eyes and wiser hearts their love and loyalty.

And yet it's these and other special things

we'll hold so dear, for memories of their steadfast

love will keep them ever near.

May our memories

of our mother's love

bring you comfort

and peace of heart,

now and through

the days ahead.
