In Loving Memory
of our Mother
Dessie Martin Payne
you
We ll remember you
when the flowers bloom
Early in the spring
We ll remember you on
sunny days
In the fun that summer brings
We ll remember you in the fall
As we walk through the
leaves of gold
And in the winter time
we II remember you in the stories
that are told
But most of all we ll remember
Each day - right from the start
You will be forever near
For you live within our hearts
