Mary
A Loving Mother Forever.
She was the best friend a cast iron skillet ever had,
and she fried her way into the hearts of everyone she met.
Wild in every way just like the beautiful roses she grew.
She was not a gambler, but she always won.
Mary, Mary quite contrary.
Fresh salsa, fried chicken, and blackberries.
.
Love Your Son, Timothy
