This was the poem read at her funeral, written by Penney Murray

My Mama's Poem

The Lord my Savior has come to take her home, and there she will not be alone.

For Mama will finally get to walk those beautiful streets of gold, and never 
grow another day old.

No more pills, just thrills that she is living in that mansion up above.

Looking down, saying "Please don't frown, for I am so happy, pain free, and 
waiting on the blessed day when she will get to see all of her beautiful 
family again."
