She will be long remembered by those who loved her best for her unassuming loyalty, her pleasing personality and her kind consideration of others.
A Good Mother has gone to her reward,
God saw the road was getting rough,
He said to her, you've done enough,
A crown you've won,
For a life will lived and a work well don.
