In loving memory of Ann N. Stuart who passed away one year ago today

God sent an angel to this earth,

I called you Mother who raised me from birth.

You listened to me through laughter and tears,

and were there for me for so many years.

Now what can I do, Oh, what can I say?

For God has taken my angel away.

To spread your wings far above,

to fill the sky with your beautiful love.

The most giving woman I've ever known,

but now our Lord has called you home.

A life eternal in His loving care,

by His grace one day I'll see you there.

Goodbye for now, Mom, until we meet again;

My angel, my mother, and my best friend.
