"We chose this poem because it captures the happiness Momma gave to all of us—a happiness so deep that words can hardly describe it. It speaks to the hole left in our hearts, but also to the peace she deserves. When you hear these words, remember her selfless spirit and that trademark laugh that she used to light up our lives. This is our prayer for her."

May You Always Walk In Sunshine

May you always walk in sunshine

and God’s around you flow,

for the happiness you gave us,

no one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

but you did not go alone,

a part of us went with you,

the day God called you home.

A million times we needed you,

a million times we’ve cried.

If love could only have saved you,

you never would have died.

The Lord be with you and may you rest in peace
