To the family..
My Lady
Lady they spoke so highly of you
Your smile
Your cooking
And your faith
My lady
In my eyes they all came in first place
You opened your home and your heart
To a lot of us
And for that we thank you
My lady
You gave us a precious gift
Whether by Constance who loves us all in Jesus name
Or Deb with her fair and tender ways
Or my girl Darlene who has so much of you in her heart
That I cant help but call her friend
So thank you my lady
For the love and laughter
Which I know you carried with you to the great there after
You have done your job
Enjoy your rest , because my dear lady
You are nothing less
Than the best.
