Mom Who worked so hard and saved so long For what we have today, And anytime would sacrifice Her chance to rest or play. Who always saw her children have The things she did without, And gave so much unselfishly For that's what love's about. Who sought no honors, no rewards For all that she had done, Except to raise a family To her the very finest one. Though we cannot evaluate Our "MOM" her love, her worth, To us she'll always be just "MOM" The greatest Mom on earth! MACKENZIE FUNERAL HOME STONEWALL 204-467-2525 mackhome@mts.net
