Mom Is Mom is the aroma of freshly baked bread and the crisp feel of sheets as we're tucked into bed Mom is two loving arms that warmly embrace and the feeling of homecoming never erased Mom is a care package thoughtfully gathered and thinking of others a gift that she's mastered Mom is a cascading fountain of love and a guardian angel sent from above Mom is kindness shared in generous measure and a blessing to us that we will dearly treasure By Jennifer (daughter) 2000 The Coutu family in care of arrangements: E.J.
