Mary Frances,
Your love for animals stayed with you through your whole life.
You were a devoted Mother, and a loving Wife.
You had many friends tired and true
Telling stories and making people laugh as you liked to do
God gave you many talents, and you used them all
Painting, playing music, and dancing, having a ball
You took on your Granddaughters, when you had another plan
We will be so ever grateful, because now we understand
You and Grandpa taught us how to be
And you loved us much that's easy to see
I Thank our God for opening my heart, and bringing you too my home
For the special time spent together, and knowing you were not left alone
Go now Grandma to that resting place the Lord has made for you
Your job is finished here, Dad and Grandpa miss you too
