In Memory of ESSIE J. KINCAID 2/28/1911 -- 4/20/1999 Mama's Love I don't Know if you are Aware But Jesus answered Mama's Prayer. And the Reason that I'm Standing here Is because of her Love. Cause when I Turned my back on God, She Prayed me Back into his Arms. She Plotted my Deliverance With the Man up Above. There's nothing like Mama's Love Nothing like Mama's pure, sweet Love Cause Mama Loves me with the Love of Christ Pure and Unconditional, Free and oh so Beautiful That's how my Mama Loved me, Every Day of my Life I could Smell Love in her Perfume, Taste the Love in Mama's Food, And even though she Lectured me, I Knew she was Right. There's nothing Like Mama's Love. (Song Lyrics by Hallerin Hilton Hill) Not a Year, Not a Month, Not a Week, Not a Day, Not an Hour, Not a Minute, Not even a Second Goes By That We Don't Miss You Mama. With Love, Your Children & Family
