“There’s a vacant place in our homes

Our eyes are filled with tears

Since from us has gone

Our mother, we loved so dear.

She was so precious to us

We cannot understand

But God she did trust

So He’s taken her to that beautiful land.

Mother, dear, we will always miss you,

A voice so tender and sweet

But some day up in heaven

We pray, that we all shall meet.”
