Memoriam
Here is mom (Olive Madge) and Sister ( Dallas)
"Today 'tis the time, Body's tired and they've called, the family I mean, that went before to make sure, someone is waiting.Left a mark or two, okay maybe more, but all in all it was good, and it was mine, and I loved it.The children the most, they kept me strong, busy I was, maybe that's how the years passed, and gave me this gray beard.It's Springtime now, have to start something new, and I'm sad that you can't come along.But I need you all here to help me live on, in your hearts...
