Katie....such wonderful memories of your mom. The village, her popovers and her sweet laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.
May you rest in Heavenly peace, Mrs. Poley

Such a caring and sweet aunt. I remember her making tote bags for the girls of the family and teddy bears for all of the kids, not to mention her homemade cards. I will miss you. Love you Aunt Florence.
