A Poem from Jackie to Mom~

That's me watching something, there was so much stuff to look at!

She didn't cook, she didn't iron and never thought of
 cleaning, but that's alright, were family.

She taught us right from wrong, she sometimes came on a little too strong, but that's alright, were family.

She saw beauty in junk, kept a lot of it around, which made her the talk of her tiny little water town, but, that's alright, were family.

She taught us to be strong, could have used a little of how to get along, but that's alright, were family


She loved life, and saw beauty everywhere, she lived in her own world, but that's alright, were family.

We are older now, and see things differently, hoping that all the strength, courage and zest for life she had was passed on to us, that's the true Legacy of family.

She taught us to be strong, taught us to push on, taught us to be family.

She came in with nothing and when she left she was rich, she had people who loved her she had family.

Our sorrow is great, our emptiness is deep, but she didn't leave us alone she left family.

 

 

God knew what we needed before we were born, she made sure we got to church, she made sure we were reborn, it's what you do for family.

I know you are walking with God hand in hand, someday we will all be together and we all will be a part of God's family.

Mom, you gave us life, you gave us love, there were many tears and much laughter, one thing I want everyone to know is that you left your kids, their spouses, your grand kids and great grand kids with great families.

Love you Mom,

Jackie
