It was mid afternoon of November 24 ninety seven, I got a call telling me your time is ending. Several years cancer got the best of you, You fought hard but nothing you could do. As I entered a crowded hospital room in Lansing, Sorrow and memories surfacing i began to see. Gradually working my way to your side, Sat on the bed took a glance and cried. Still today hurt lingers deep within, Sorrow possibly never finding an end. I sat there holding your soft cold hand, Of your life your no longer in command. You parted from here as we all stood around, Soon your body to be placed in cold ground. After a long and painful time of silence and tears, We knew you was gone from us at age 67 years. Devoted wife, mother, grandma and friend, It was your time, on ride in life the end. Our hearts bear an empty spot without you, Your smiling face and helping us through. We love you the same as in the past, Its a love that will forever last.
