ADELA HOFMAN In memory of our best friend, Mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who left us one year ago today. The hardest thing in life to bear, Is to want your Mom and she's not there, For you only have one Mother Forever loving and true, No other person will ever be As dedicated to you. What I would give if I could say, Hi Maw, I'm coming to see you today. To hear her voice, to see her smile To sit and talk with her for a while. But it's her resting place I visit Placing flowers there with care, No one sees the tears that flow When I turn and leave her there. A Mother is your first love, a pillar of strength, providing a sense of security only a Mother can. She taught us faith and how to pray and those teachings we continue today. Our Mother is more than a memory, she is a living presence which lives in our hearts forever. Lovingly missed by your children, John, Mary, Liz and their families.
