In Loving Memory of my Mother

This is a song I wrote for my Mother who passed away at the age of 77 on January 31, 2013 after a long battle with cancer. She was an Amazing woman that was loved by all and she will be greatly missed. I will cherish my memories of her and the blessing of being her son.

Really beautiful.

That was a really nice tribute. I'm sure she's looking down and smiling on you.

Hi Mike, really beautiful. I lost my mom Jan 26th very suddenly so although she didn't suffer I am BC I never got to say goodbye - same with my dad. I just bought a Kamaka tenor in her honor and hope to put some of my thoughts into song. I'm sorry for your loss, I know I'm sorry for mine......

Porridge Face, itsme and BigSkyUkuleleGirl- Thanks for the kind words. BigSky-I'm sorry for your sudden lose of both parents. I got a Kamaka HF-3 a year ago and you will love yours when you get it. Putting your thoughts to song is really great therapy. I hope you can find peace in the process. I'd like to hear the song when you finish it. Blessings to you!

Very beautiful and interesting. It remember me my grand mom's happy memories. She was very caring to me and I was attach to her. She thought to me an share stories.

Mike,

Very sad to hear about the loss of your mother & also BigSkyUkeGirl's mom.

My Dad passed away at 8:00 AM Christmas morning this year from a bad heart valve (the doctors' couldn't repair it), so I know how you feel. He had a wonderful 90 years & I was fortunate to be with him at hospice to keep him company until he passed.

Matt

Such a beautiful tribute, Mike

That song is really lovely. I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom.

Lots of loss in this thread. Peace to all of you and your families.

teruterubouzu and guitharsis-Thanks for the compliment and sympathy. gtomatt- Sorry for your loss. Hospice would come and check on my Mom... What an AMAZING organization! They must recruit from Heaven mm stan- Thanks for the beautiful song!

This song is still on Heaven's Top 10 this week and all the other Angels are standing in line for your mom's autograph, Mike. Ric
