| A mother is she who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take. |

| I'll Stand by You The Pretenders Oh, why you look so sad Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through Cause I've seen the dark side too When the night falls on you You don't know what to do Nothing you confess Could make me love you less I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you So, if you're mad, get mad Don't hold it all inside Come on and talk to me now Hey, what you got to hide I get angry too, Well I'm alot like you When you're standing at the crossroads And don't know which path to choose Let me come along Cause even if you're wrong I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you Take me in into your darkest hour And I'll never desert you I'll stand by you. And when, when the night falls on you baby You're feelin' all alone You won't be on your own I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you Take me in into your darkest hour And I'll never desert you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you. |
| My mom, my believer, an angel... |
| If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane I would walk right up to heaven no farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before i knew it and only God knows why my heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow what it meant to lose you no one will ever know... Mommy I will love you always |
| God saw you were getting tired And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you And whispered, "Come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best |
| Jill Ann Kavanaugh August 23, 1945 - September 26, 1994 |
| You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you. That's were I'll be waiting. - Tinkerbelle ("Hook") |

| I always thought that when it rained it was because angels cried because they knew someone had passed away. Now I know they don't cry for those who have died, they cry because they feel the pain of those who are left behind. The day my mom died, the minute, the second she died...it poured. Like the Heavens just opened up. There is no pain in Heaven, and the only tears are the ones on earth. |

| It can’t be nine years… It just can’t. Everyday I wake up and no matter what, You’re the first one I think of. When I think that I can’t possibly Make it through the day, You’re the one that gets me through Because I know you’re with me. And when I talk, you listen… So, it can’t be nine years. It was just yesterday, When I left for school, The smile was affixed to your face, And not to worry because everything Was going to be okay. And I know that could not have been Nine years ago. Time is a funny thing, Because even though it seems like yesterday, It’s really been nine years… Since I last held your hand, Since I last saw you, Since I last told you I love you. And no matter how much time goes by, I’ll always miss you, I’ll always love you, And you’ll always be my mommy. I Love You Always Forever, Heather |
| There's so much more to add, so much more to say. My mom was angel on earth and now she watches me from Heaven. I cannot express in words the kind, friendly, awesome person she was. Her smile could light up a room, and just remembering her smile makes me smile. I do miss her more than anything, but I know cancer isn't hurting her anymore and she's free. Even though she's no longer in my vision, she's forever in my heart. |
| It Was Her Song that got me through it all and will carry me through |
