MARY ARKSEY December 15, 1933 - December 5, 2006 For our Dear Mother and Grandmother You can only have one Mother, Patient, kind and true. No other friend in all the world Would be so true to you. For all her loving kindness, She asked nothing in return. If all the world deserted us To Mother we would turn. To those who have a Mother, Treasure her with care. For you will never miss her Till you know that she's not there. We miss you more than anyone knows. Each day that passes the emptiness grows. The tears in our eyes will wipe away But the ache in our heart will always stay. God put Your arms around her, Keep her in your care, Make up for all she suffered And all that was unfair. If all the world were ours to give, We'd give it, yes and more To see your loving smile again And greet you at the door. How often there comes before us, Your dear face so kind and true, For death can never take away Our memories of you. Your memory, dear Mom, will never grow old. It's locked in our heart in letters of gold. - Missing you more than words can express. Brian, Susan, Darcy and the loves of your life Sarah, Maya and Ella
