A warm embrace

A welcoming smile

An anchor and a place to call home

 

Finally I knew what family was with you

I belonged and I was loved

I was at peace, I was happy

 

You allowed me to be me

You taught me my family tree

And all that there is to be

 

A heart so warm and so deep

It touched many lives

It healed many souls

 

Truly you were a Christlike woman

Through your actions and words

Only love was present

 

A light in my life I will never forget

I will always treasure the memories we shared

I only hope you know the love I stored in my heart for you

 

You and Granddad, you taught me so much

Our language, our culture

And most importantly love.
