  • ...Mom I carry you in my heart everyday! Sometimes Mom in passing Would pat you on the back And sometimes in passing She'd show you the right track. Sometimes Mom in passing Would say, "You sure look nice!" hey want to play a game of cribbage;)) And sometimes in passing She could, make you, think twice. Sometimes Mom in passing Would lightly touch your hair And sometimes in passing She'd show you what was fair. Sometimes Mom in passing Would ask, "What do you mean?" And sometimes in passing She would get in between. Sometimes Mom in passing Would give you, "that look";)) And sometimes in passing Would give you what it took. But this time, Mom is passing From this world to the best And this time in passing She'll pass the final test. And when Mom has passed And the pain is so unkind... Just look and you'll find her There in your heart and mind. ~ miss seeing your smile mom ~xoxo - Posted by: cynthia suzio (daughter) on: Feb 23, 2012

  • I fondly remember her infectious laughter & smile. She loved taking a car full of kids to the drive-in & enjoying watching us having fun!! A very positive & strong lady who passed on to me the importance of standing up/being yourself. With fond memories, R.I.P. - Posted by: Nic Di Rado (Nephew) on: Feb 09, 2012
