    Karen, Ken, Lynda & Tom

    Your Mother
    is always with you
    She is the whisper of the leaves
    as you walk down the street.
    She is the smile that you show
    to everyone you meet.
    She is the heart inside the laughter
    that you so freely give.
    Forever in your heart
    She will always live.

    You are in our hearts & prayers,
    Susan Schmidt & Family
