I wish Mom was here to see us, gatherer around to say goodbye. I wish Mom was here to tell us, now is not the time to cry. I wish I could have told her all the love had meant to me. I wish she could have helped me through another crisis or three. All these things and more I wish, but I do not have the words to say how much I wish, I wish, I wish that she were still alive today. Mom you will always be in my heart! I love you!
A Mass of Christian Burial will be in the spring when all can gather safely at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 5125 Grandview Road, Hanover, PA.
