Johanna Pavone Tassa Tribute

We lost a mother with a heart of gold,

How much we miss her can never be told.

She shared our troubles and helped us along,

If we follow her footsteps we will never go wrong.

We miss you from our table,

Your loving smiles and gentle air.

Your vacant place no one can fill,

We miss you mother and always will.

She was a mother so very rare,

Content in her home and always there.

On earth she toiled, in Heaven she rests,

God Bless you mother, you were one of the best.

Each time we took your picture

You seem to smile and say,

Dont be sad but courage take

And love each other for my sake.

Oh sweet Jesus, for the sake of of Thy bitter

passion and the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother,

have mercy on her soul and let the light of Thy countenance

shine upon her...

                                                        OUR BELOVED NANA
