You were the most righteous woman, I ever knew.
Your strengths were many and your faults were few.
You raised your children with loving care.
Friends and outsiders, you treated fair.

Throughout your life, you trusted the Lord.
Into your family, your love you poured.
Your will was strong and you lived your life.
You kept your faith through pain and strife.

After the final daughter you had seen,
you passed away on March sixteen.
In the history of the world, there will be no other,
who matched your loving nature, my dear Grandmother.

You strove in life for the promised land,
to look upon Jesus and hold God's hand.
Although I am sad, I still try to smile.
Tell Grandpa I said "hi" and I'll see you in awhile.

For my grandmother, I love and miss you.
