Love You Forever

Past months proved tough, extremely hard to bear
A cancerous rage, no, this can’t be fair
To see one so great, slowly fade away
Before we’re ready, we want her to stay
Blessed by her loving, sweet, and tender care

A battle courageous, but now she’s gone
Returning to God, her memory lives on
Touched the lives of many, gave selflessly
Our mother, friend, rock of our family
Never forgotten. Love you forever, Mom!

-Dedicated to Pat Barton, whom we lost too soon.


Today is a sad day, as the mother of my good friends (Kirk, Mason and Gina) passed on to the next life after a hard battle with cancer. Her memory lives on in them and their goodness. I was honored to have known Pat in this life. She will be accepted with open arms by millions heaven, especially the arms of our Savior and Heavenly Father. I wrote this in memory of her and her kids. Love you Barton family. Love you Pat.
