Rip Dear Mother Stella! Poem by Dr John Celes

You lived a life exemplary;
You cared for children ten;
You tended to your husband's needs
And turned the house, a home!

You slogged all life for family's sake;
You did all duties well;
You loved your people immensely,
And God as per His Will.

Oh mother dear! Oh mother dear!
Your stay on earth was swell;
You taught us what is piety
And education's wealth.

How well you spent your time on earth!
How much you prayed each day!
God made your pot from special clay
That served the Potter well.

We are so proud of you mother;
You live in each one's heart;
The greatness you had reached in life,
The God who made you knows.

Today you left us for long sleep,
Before your Judgment Day;
May Jesus give your soul the rest
And make it pure, His way.

Till then, may your soul rest in peace
In the Heavenly Lord!
Prayerfully,
your living children, grand-children and families
