Happier times: Mom and I, Summer 2001Susan M. Rice
February 19, 1948 - March 6, 2003
You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
