You toiled so hard for those you loved,

You said goodbye to none.

Your spirit flew before we knew,

Your work on earth was done.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,

As time goes by we miss you more.

Your loving smile, your gentle face:

No one can fill your vacant place.

Your life was love and labor,

Your love for your family true.

You did the best for all of us,
