My Wife, Our Mother, Our Grandmother

Ma, there are so many things we can say

about you that will never end. You have

touched so many people’s lives and fulfilled

many different roles. Daughter, sister,

mother, wife, grandma, Nana, cousin,

godmother, friend, and neighbor. Most of all

you were you. A strong, stand tall firm

believer and inspirational blessing. Ma you

were there for everyone, as I would say a life

saver. When someone called you and needed

you, no matter the time, day or situation you

were there helping, supporting, giving,

teaching and listening. All the times you

were there, that showed deep down

how much you cared. Ma you will be missed.

You left us with so many memories

Of you that will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Ma.

You made your home Knox central

 and always had something

to eat and a piece of cake on Sunday

for all who came through your door.
