In loving memory of our beautiful mother, Doris Cook Barger.

God called her home on Good Friday, March 29th, ten long years ago.

Heaven Needed Mom

So many things of Mom I miss - -

Her gentle hug and tender kiss.

I still can feel her warm embrace.

And picture yet her loving face.

A mother’s tasks are never done.

And Heaven must have needed one.

For angels came and took her hand

And led her to God’s promised land.

She’s surely kept quite busy there

While brushing little angels’ hair.

And making sure they’re dressed just right.

Not staying out too late at night.

Although there’s sadness, this I know - -

She’s waiting there, her face aglow.

I close my eyes and I can see - -

Her arms still open wide for me.

Deeply loved and dearly missed,

Dawn, Lori, Cinder, and Tim
