She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Prov 31:26-31

“-To Our Mother
We love you Mama, but God loved you best.
We wanted to keep you but God took you home to rest.
We thank you for being a mother
A mother you were indeed. You nourished your children.
You provided, you cared and you saved.
We remember your wisdom; we remember your strength,
We will always remember your whit and charm.
We also remember you ruled our household with a rod and spared not the child.
We remember you reading the scriptures, singing songs of praise throughout the day.
We remember you rejoicing in God's beauty in your own special way
Today with loving thoughts we feel your presence, still guiding us day by day.
We will always remember you, 'Mama' for the love and care you shared.
