A gramma, a sister, a daughter, a friend;
Someone on whom you could always depend.
A mother she was, a mother she stays -
Forever our hearts will cherish her days.
We celebrate love
Through her example
Life only gave her
What she could handle
Living life like a bird in the sky -
Watching over and allowing others to fly.
She is the wind beneath our wing
No matter where she soars,
The memory of a hero
We all adore.
Friendships she bridged
Lasting and true,
Will carry her forward
On her journey anew.
We are not alone -
She is in our hearts to stay,
So let us come together
And honour her this way.
- Taryn (granddaughter)
