"Mom words cannot express my gratitude for how you, Karen, Dee & Truman accepted Smurf, Simone and I into your family. You are truly a precious gift from God. Thank you so much for your love. Sleep on take your rest for we love you dear yet God loves you best. Kick off your shoes and rest your feet for God gave you to us but not to keep. You've been faithful, you've been true, and you've done all that you can do and for your faithfulness, its your time. You've applauded for the rest, now it's your time to be blessed, and for your faithfulness, it's your time. You've waited for so long, but you held on, you were stong and for your faithfulness, it's your time. You encouraged everyone else, when you needed it for yourself, and for your faithfulness, its's your time. You hung in there when times got hard and when it seemed like nobody cared, you kept right on working, you kept right on doing good things and for your faithfulness God said "Well Done Thy Good and Faithful Servant, It's Your Time" Our lives are forever Bless because you were a part of it.
