In loving memory of my mother, Rose Migliorini.

On this special day I remember when I was young and you had lost your mother. At that time there was a song that was entitled "Mama". You would always shed a tear when it was played, but I guess I was too young to realize just why. Now I understand and dedicate these words to you:

When the evening shadows fall and the lovely day is through,

Then with longing I recall the years I spent with you.

Mama, I miss the days when you were near to guide me,

Mama, those happy days when you were here beside me.

Safe in the glow of your love,

Sent from the heavens above,

Nothing can ever replace

The warmth of your tender embrace.

Oh, Mama, until the day that we're together once more,

I'll live in these memories

Until the day that we're together once more.
