SHARON ROBERTA SWASH December 13, 1946 - April 23, 2003 Feel no guilt in
laughter, she knows how much you care Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's
not here to share You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to She'd
hope that you would carry on, the way you always do So talk about the good
times, and the ways you showed you cared The days you spent together, all
the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture, a time, an hour, a day That brings her back so
clearly, as though she were still here And fills you with all the feelings,
that she is always near For if you keep those moments, you will never be
apart And she will live forever, locked safe within your heart. You are
missed very much Mom.
