Shirley Hilliard

In loving memory of our beloved Mom and Grandma, Shirley Hilliard, who passed away three years ago on May 27th

In memory of

My mother

You were a precious gift from God above

And I hope today she feels the love,

Reflected back from me.

I wasn’t ready to let you go.

Even though I’m told that it was your time.

I can’t get that through my mind.

I wasn’t ready to let you go.

Mom, will the tears ever dry?

I ask this as I wipe my eyes.

I’m told in time.

But I don’t think so.

I wasn’t ready to let you go.

You made me who I am today,

And I will always remember you

For no one could touch my life and heart as you have

I could write a million pages

But still be unable to say, just how

Much I love and miss her

Every single day
