`
I'm Missing Mama
She gave me birth and without warning
she left this earth, to see her placed in
in that dirt was the worst or was it when
I was following that ugly black hurst?
I heard the preacher say ashes to ashes
dust to dust, I thought " Mother can I speak
to you once again please as you see it's
a must? don't you have one fight in you left?
a thought interrupted my chain of thought and
said, she's fought a good fight let her take her
rest her children received her best
As people started leaving the cemetery, seems
I couldn't leave her there alone, to me it seemed
a form of abandonment, It finally hit me, this is real
not play, what a sad and gloomy day, she no longer
answers the phone when it rings, all I have left
are some of her things
They mean more to me now than when she was alive
then I asked myself did I give her enough flowers
while she lived? I regret the times I brought her grief
it took her death to realize she really did love me!
The relationship between a mother and a daughter can
be a complicated one, yet it's oh so simple when she's
gone, because then there's no question as to who was
wrong, the blame I finally owned, you feel so alone, calling
in the dark hoping she answers and tell you it was all a bad
dream, she's not answered me yet she never will again it seems
I know for sure she's watching and expecting me to do my best
and her favorite command, was to never give up on my dreams
no matter how far they seem, when I'm feeling real low I look
at her picture hanging over my desk, which some days seems
to speak, only God and I know the sweet things she says to me!

MaryAnn had the magic of bringing life and laughter in all situations. We will miss her deeply, as we know you all will miss this lady of faith and love. We had many talks about family and I know how much she loved all of hers! She loved her Lord and we know without hesitation that she is with Him today. God Bless all of you.

We are deeply saddened by your loss. While no words of sympathy can ease your loss, you should find some comfort in knowing others truly care. Aunt Mary Ann was a wonderful person as well as a good wife and mother. At this time of sorrow, it is best to focus on and remember the many good years you shared.

Gene and Family
I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. Mary Ann was always so upbeat and warm to be around. We missed the last family reunions to our great regret. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you. I still remember seeing Uncle Gene at the hall in Lansing as he planned the wedding reception for his marriage to this wonderful lady so many years ago. You two were such a perfect and ageless match. I envy the love and years you shared. Love, Barb

As a high school classmate of your wife and mother, I remember well the girl with the beautiful black hair and the smiling face.
Although our paths have not crossed since 1951, Mary Ann still remains with me in my memories.
May you find peace in the love you gave to her and the love she gave to you.
