To Our Great-Grandmother

Legacy of Love

A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to fight,

You gave us strength, you gave us might.

A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart, you were always kind.

You fought for us all in one way or another,

Not just as a wife not just as a mother. For all of us you gave your best,

Now the time has come for you to rest.

So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.

Love, Norma, Anthony, Kenneth, and Sandra

You are gone from my sight, But you will never be gone from my heart.

I can’t see your face, But I will always see your sweet smile.

I will never hear your voice again, But you will

Forever Echo in my soul.

Love, Your Great-Grandkids
