Jack's Poem]
Jack Byrnes:
"My Mother", by Jack Byrnes. You gave me life / You gave me milk / You gave me courage / Your name was Angela / The angel from Heaven / But you were also an angel of God / And He needed you, too / Selfishly I tried to keep you here / While the cancer ate away your organs, / Like an unstoppable rebel force / But I couldn't save you / and I shall see your face nevermore, nevermore, nevermore / Until we meet in heaven.
Pam Byrnes:
Dad, that's beautiful.
Dina Byrnes:
It always gets me.
Greg Focker:
That's amazing, so much love, and also so much information.
