My best friend in the world lost her mother on July 8th.
I started to write this poem and just got so overwhelmed with grief...
I suppose one day I will finish it, but here's all I got so far...
I am going to remember you just the way you were--
A force to be reckoned with
Southern bred, city raised
A mama to all that came your way
Your laugh was infectious, your smile just the same
I still smile thinking of how your pronounced my name
Ms. Sadie, Ms. Sadie
Such a classy lady
You taught your children right from wrong
And never to cause harm
Fearful of God and respectful of all
Tamara will miss you -most of all
Ms. Sadie, Ms. Sadie
Your laugh was infectious, your smile always so bright
Its hard to believe we lost you tonight

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...writing is an excellent way of dealing with the pain and honoring your loved one. I did the same when I lost grandmother last year.
