In loving memory of our dearest Mother and Grandmother, Martha L. McDaniel McBride, who passed away May 3, 2005.

Today was a heartbreaking day,

When God took me aside to say,

I need a special angel -

She is right before my eyes,

I replied "not yet" with unending cries.

But the Heavens opened and God held out His arms to carry her home.

While the light of heaven was brightly shone.

She became as white as snow,

While the painful tears continue to flow.

Soon He said, "it won't be long my Child til you and your mom will be together,

And your pain will be as never."
