From earth to heaven she went,

with love and prayers on her journey sent.

Her guarding Angel led the way,

towards God's Light, she went that day.

Thru' the gates of heaven she walked, to sit at the feet of Jesus and talk.

Perhaps, they chatted about her love of dance, humour and fun,

or of her great treasures--her loving sons.

At long last she will meet again

that loving beau she called husband.

Reviewing it all, Jesus will see

the love she shared with family.

But her greatest love was the love of Him.

His stories and prayers she shared with all her kin.

Perhaps when you are feeling blue, remember Mary, will be watching over you.

Free your heart of grief and care,

and leave just treasured memories there.

May God be with you in your sorrow,

to brighten every new tomorrow.



God Bless Mary, and you all.
