Poem:  Legacy of Love (From Grandchildren)

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,

This is the legacy we have from you

You taught us love and how to fight

You gave us strength; you gave us might.

A stronger person would be hard to find,

And in your heart, you were always kind.

You fought for us all in one way or another

Not just as a wife not just as a mother.

For all of us you gave your best

And now the time has come for you to rest.

So, go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,

Your love in our hearts we’ll eternally keep.

A Private graveside service will be held ar 2:00 PM Saturday at Rose Hill Memorial Gardens.  Ocean View Funeral Home, Conway Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
