In loving memory of our mother, Katherine Fox, who passed away October 20, 2006.

Dear Mom,

It feels like yesterday that we last kissed your cheek, not a year ago.

Everything happened so fast!

As we sat at your bedside, our hearts crushed and sore.

We did our best until the end, when we could do no more.

In tears we watched you quietly fade away.

And though our hearts were breaking, we knew you could not stay.

Thinking how it used to be.

The little things you used to do

And what you used to say

Are the things we remember since you've gone away.

In life we loved you dearly.

In death we love you still.

There's a place in our hearts you hold

A place no one will ever fill.
