To Bid You Farewell

The January day dawned gray and dreary

When we had to say goodbye

Bound together in shared sorrow

Children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews

Embraces shared and words of comfort whispered

Consolation found in precious memories

Your life summed up beautifully by your daughter and grandson

Another angel welcomed home to Heaven

Watching over her loved ones left here on Earth

Until I see you again, Aunt Virginia

So dearly loved and so deeply missed.
