In loving memory

of our beloved

mom and grandma,

Shirley Hilliard

who passed away

nine years ago today.

Mom, if I could have one more day, only one more,

I would hold you and tell you how much I love you.

I would thank you for loving me unconditionally,

And I would thank you for helping me to be me.

I pray Heaven is everything you dreamt it to be.

I pray you’re safe and free from pain,

And are with all your loved ones.

I pray you have heard all the words I’ve said.

Life without you has never been the same.

Never a day passes that

I don’t think of you.

Mom, I will love you forever, always in my heart, until we meet again.
