One year has passed since your suffering ended, You were someone we could talk to that no one can replace; You were someone we could laugh with, ‘Til tears ran down our face. You were someone we could count on, To advise and understand, You were someone we thought more of, As each year came to an end; You were our dearest mother, Also our dearest friend.
