Mary Catherine Rome

In loving memory of our beloved Mary Catherine Rome, whose birthday is February 14th.

We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,

We thought about you yesterday and the day before that too.

We think of you in silence

We often speak your name,

But all we have now is your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part,

God has you in His keeping and we have you in our hearts.

They say that memories are golden, well that may be true,

But we never wanted memories, we only wanted you.

And if tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane

We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.

In life we loved you dearly and in death we love you still,

But in our hearts you have a place that no one can ever fill.

"Happy Birthday Mom"
