MY SISTER FLORENCE

My Sister Florence
Had a Heart of Gold
she was always there for me
and when I was just Little
she had me on weekends and at
summer time she would take
Mary, Mike, Frank, and yes Me
She would put sand down our shirts
and give us all Baths.
She was a GREAT LADY
and always will be in my eyes.
She was not just a SISTER,
she was MY FRIEND, and like a MOTHER
I am lost already without her
Please keep her safe.
She will always be in my HEART.

Love Your Sister
Hazel

GRANDMOTHER
We Had A Wonderful Grandmother,
One Who Never Really Grew Old.
Her Smile Was Made Of Sunshine,
And Her Heart Was Solid Gold;
Her Eyes Were As Bright As Shining Stars,
And Her Cheeks Fair Roses You See.
We Had a Wonderful Grandmother,
And That's The Way It Will Always Be.
But Take Heed, Because
She's Still Keeping An Eye On All Of Us.
So Let's Make Sure
She Will Like What She Sees.

TO A VERY SPECIAL MOTHER


Mom you are the best mother and friend anyone could ever have
and mom I'm glad your mine.
I will always keep you in my heart and soul.
Because mom there will be no other like you that I can share my dreams with or have our talks and laugh together.

I will miss you a lot mom.
If I needed you were always there for me.
Now that your gone mom what am I going to do?
Cause I will miss my very best friend mom and that is you.
