She walked along beside us, to help us understand. She smiled and said, please don’t cry, look up in the sky! For Heaven is my home. From there I’ll look upon you. You’ll never be alone. So remember this, she gave us a hug and kiss. I’m always by your side. But throughout your life, you’ll need “Jesus Christ” to be your guide. Angels come in many forms. For us it is our mommy. She said please dry your tears, mommy’s always near. Someday you’ll be, back home with me, In Heaven by my side. Mommy, we love you to the moon and back Forever Ella and Evan
