Hideko James

Momma

Her name means "hero" and she's that to us
The love for her children kept her from ever making a fuss
She taught through example of how hard work will reward
And that our lives would be enriched by following the Lord

Vivien, Steven and Kathleen will be entwined forever
Momma's earthly life ends but her love will never
Though we are heartbroken because we cannot see her beautiful smile
We know our separation from her will only last a short while

Today we celebrate her entry into Heaven and know she is free
To embrace eternal life as God said it would be
In Heaven every day is Sunday and her Pastor had once said
And if we listen with our heart we will hear a song that's led

By momma who's finally singing with her heavenly friend

Vivien, Steven & Kathleen
