A Tribute to Mother
Melba Lucille Taylor Raney b. March 22, 1924
To
Charles E. Taylor and Eunice Hazel Cotterell, in Lemoore California.
Mother  had Alzheimer's for over five years, and had not known any of us for a very long time. When they say it is the Longest Goodbye, They are  right.
May You fly with the Angels, Mother, and know that we will keep you close in our Hearts.

When I Dream of You

I laid my head on my pillow
After turning out the light,
I can't remember how long it took
To fall asleep last night.

I know that I was happy
As I began to sleep
The dreams I had about you
Are ones I want to keep.

You were so close I saw your face
I heard You laugh out loud
I felt like we were floating
On a great white fluffy cloud.

You held my hand as we walked in peace
On a beach, with rays of sun.
We were silent in our solitude,
Our minds and hearts were one.

We never spoke, we only felt
The love that we both knew
Was always going to be there
The love of me and you.

When I awoke this morning,
And sat up straight in bed.
I realized this wonderful walk
Was only  in my head.

So until I see you once again,
I'll have to be satisfied,
To walk with you in peaceful dreams
And love you from deep inside.
