In loving memory of our mom and grandma, Thelma J. Christy, who passed away five years ago today, November 14.

If tears could build a stairway,

And memories were a lane,

We would walk right up to heaven

To bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say goodbye.

You were gone before we could grasp the sudden reality

But only God know why.

Our hearts still ache in sadness

And silent tears fall

In the secret of night.

What it meant to lose you

No one will ever truly know, but us.
