A poem for a special wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.
I thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in Silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping; I have you in my heart!!!
-- With love, forever and always. "Return to Sender"
