Donna Marie Day

"The Magic of a Mother’s Touch There’s magic in mother’s touch, And sunshine in her smile There’s love in everything she does To make our lives worthwhile We can find both love and courage Just by looking in her eyes Her laughter is a source of joy, Her words are warm and wise There is a kindness and compassion To be found in her embrace And we see the light of Heaven Shining from a mother’s face."

We thank you for the music and your stories of the road, we thank you for the freedom, when it came our time to go, we thank you for the kindness, and the times when you got tough, and mama, we don't think we said we love you near enough." ~ All our love always and forever, ~ Deb, Deana and Danese There will be a celebration of life on Friday, September 23rd.
