My dear sweet Aunt Ann
My deepest Sympathy for Uncle Jack, Donna & Doug, Jackie, Mimi & George, Chris. We will miss our sweet and loving Aunt Ann very much. We thoroughly enjoyed bringing Aunt Chris to visit and our fun scrabble games. Yor love and devotion to your family was unparalleled.
Aunts have no wands or wings,
So they work with wisdom, love, and things.
Having taken on this role,
You loved me right down to my soul.
You offered kindness
And greetings with a hug and kiss,
Each freely out of love which I will miss.
I chose a twinkling star in the sky at night ,
To say a prayer for you to it’s bright light.
You’re in God’s Heavens now and no longer in pain,
In my thoughts, you’ll always remain.
How lucky I was,
How blessed I’ve been,
You were more than my Aunt,
You were also my friend.
