    About this ebook

    My Mother Smiled Down from Heaven Today is a wonderful collection of faith inspired poetry written by Terressa Kennedy's mother. Even at a young age Terressa had noticed how talented and strong her mother was. Indeed being a single parent she had to strive hard in order to raise her children. But despite it all she still had great faith and persisted in her love for the written word. Unfortunately, her mother would never see her writings in print. On April 3, 2003, Terressa's mother lost her three year battle to inflammatory breast cancer, but not before passing these treasures on to the one person who cared for her throughout it all, her daughter.
