In loving memory of our beloved Eunice Turner Hixon who passed away 10 years ago today.

How Can I Say Goodbye?

by Brinda Carter

Mom it’s been over 10 years now since

God and His angels called you away.

Oh, how the angels rejoiced as you walked

Through those pearly gates that day!

Mom, when they said you were going to die

I refused to believe it could be true.

How could I allow myself to even

Imagine saying goodbye to you?

Mom, you were an angel here on earth

I learned so very much from you.

You were so gentle and so kind; your

Smile would always see me through.

You taught me how to love unconditionally

And how to be my very best in all I do.

You gave your all to God and your family,

Never once stopping to think about you.

You were more than a mother, you were my

Best friend and a great listener too.

Oh, how I miss our special talks and

All the fun things we used to do.

Mom, I can never say goodbye to you,

Because I could never bear the pain.

Instead, I say I love you, Mom

Until we meet again.

Happy Birthday!

Love, Joy
