I Dedicate This Poem To My Sweet Precious Momma.... It's called... (Gone).
You left this world, no sound was heard, we had no idea that life on earth would end for you Momma... And you would not be here Momma... You were gone before we knew it... No chance to say goodbye Momma... We cannot grasp that you're not here... Or know the reason why. Your tragic end came swift and fast that we could not be there, to hold your hand and comfort you. Momma, it's much more than we can bear. We wish we could rewind the clock and have known what we now know. We Could have hugged you one more time, before you had to go Momma... In our hearts we will hold you close, and there you will remain Momma... Until our time has come on earth, when you will be there to take our hand... And guide us like you always have Momma... WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND MISSING YOU LIKE CRAZY, AND MISSING YOU TALKING TO US, YOUR VOICE YOUR SMILE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU MOMMA...YOUR DAUGHTERS: Stephanie Michelle Tillman Whitecotton, Sue Ann Nichois, Jessica Tillman, Drenda Green...DEDICATE THIS TO YOU MOMMA UP IN HEAVEN WISHING YOU WERE WITH US IT HURTING SO BAD.WE ARE LOST MOMMA YOU WERE OUR ROCK OUR EVERYTHING SWEET MOMMA....                                                          Wrote by: Stephanie Whitecotton second daughter of Jeanette Bishop...
