With loving memories of our Mama and Grammitsa, Helen A. Rausch, who was born into Eternal Life two years ago today.

Dear Mama,

Two years have passed so quickly by,

And yet we find that we still cry.

We think about your soft, brown eyes,

And your advice, so true and wise.

You taught us about life, you see,

And all the things that we could be,

If we trusted God to start each day,

And to always and forever pray.

And when our family gathers near,

As we do often through the year.

We remember warm times spent with you,

And all the joy and laughter, too.

Your love lives on in us each day.

We try to imitate your ways.

And we hope we can always be

Part of your beautiful legacy.
