In my heart the memory’s clear; Of the greatest Mom I love so dear. I held you close to my heart Praying that we’ll never part. But angels came and took you away And I shed tears for you every day Now a shining lit up star, My Mom will watch from up afar In all the pain I’m going through Just remember, I’m here with you. -- Christine (Daughter) Memorial Services for Mary will be held at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, September 24, 2011, at Calvary Baptist Church, 785 East First Street, Idaho Falls.
