Memoriam In Loving Memory Of Ellen Ruth Roundtree Carter February 1, 1933 ~ February 22, 2012 This angel that is so pure & beautiful Is my Mother in Disguise She now lives in Heaven Far above the skies God reached down his loving hand and chose to lead her away For us left here without her, it was one year ago today For God knew mom was suffering and wanted to set her free He said, My child you'll suffer no more, if you come to live with me It broke our hearts to lose her She did not go alone For part of us went with her The day God called her home She left us beautiful memories Her love is still our guide And although we cannot see her She is always at our side Our family chain has been broken And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again And in our hearts forever That's where she'll always be We'll teach the young ones all about her So her beauty they too can see Keep us Mother within your reach Embrace us with your wings We can hear you Mother We can hear you sing We love you and miss you. Valerie, Billy, Jennae, Shannon, Shanel, and Christian.
