HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MS. SHARON TOLBERT
A million times I’ve needed you; a million times I’ve 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, no one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you did- n’t go alone; part of me went with you the day God took you home.
Love, Mr. Charlie Tolbert
