CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN WRITTENBY YOUR MOTHER MILDRED

WHEN I LOOKED UP AT THAT MOUNTAIN SO WIDE AND SO TALL I KNEW I WOULD NEED JESUS WITH ME BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T LET ME FALL

BEFORE I STARTED CLIMBING, I ASKED HIM TO FORGIVE MY SINS I ASKED HIM TO CLIMB WITH ME AND HELP ME WIN

AFTER REACHING THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, I SEE A GLORIOUS SIGHT, THE PEARLY GATES SURROUNDED WITH GOLDEN LIGHTS

JESUS STAYED BY MY SIDE WITH LOVING CARE AND, I KNOW THAT HE HAD ANSWERED MY PRAYER.

TO A LOVING WIFE AND MOTHER FROM JERRY AND KEVIN

THE THREE OF US SHARED A LONG LIFE HELD TOGETHER WITH PATIENCE, STRENGTH, AND LOVE

THANK YOU FOR CARING SO DEEPLY FOR US WITH A LOVE THAT WAS SO FREELY GIVEN
