God's creation of your life was a golden plan
Your sisters were named Eugene and Anne
Jeannette & George were your loving parents
In England they talk with funny accents
You married your love during the great World War
And took on the strange name of Krajczar
All for one and one for all...
You came to this country, after leaving gorgeous Cornwall...
All the turbulences of life you took in stride
Love and care to all you did provide
Never will I look into the October sky
And have to wonder or ask why?
For sure you were the sweetest woman that I ever did know
Now and for eternity you're in God's glow
Throughout my life, until the day that I die
you're gracious heart will remain by my side
We all love you so much my Gram, couldn't ask for more
Life here on Earth will never to be the same as before
But we will all see you someday again...
And just keep on loving you until then.

- xoxo Love YOU Always & Forever xoxo - Your Grandson, Michael
