Happy Birthday Momma

You would have been 63 today
But we would have told everyone you were turning 40 
Because let's be honest
You were stunning
(and people would have believed us)


You taught me many things
But you especially taught me the love of music

In memory of your music filled life here is a list of songs that your family and friends composed 
Each song has a story and a memory
Each song a person
