Notes and messages

One of Mary's favourite hymns, always sung when she was making her way through difficult times...
"Sweet Hour of Prayer, Sweet Hour of Prayer,
That calls us from a world of care;
And bids us at thy Father's throne,
Make all our wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief;
And oft escaped the tempter's snare,
By thy return, Sweet Hour of Prayer.

In loving memory of the woman gave me a true example of grit and inner strength in the face of all obstacles. I love you. I'll always miss you.

By Charles K. Moss It never seemed possible That you would not live forever; So the sting of Death lay not with you, But struck upon my head the cruelest blow. No other love can be so unconditional: Though all-sufficient may be the Love of God, which knows no end; It is not sweeter than a mother's tender kiss.

In memory on this second anniversary... You're always missed. Never forgotten.
