Dear Crombeen-Gerrits family, We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of mom.
A mother always dies too early, no matter how old she is
You pray that God will spare her, because you love her
But when the days get tight, she gets sick, tired and short of breath
Do you pray that God will get her, because you love her.
