I was in need of an aunt and a godmother, The one I had was like no other. She was lively and charismatic, When I looked into her eyes for the first time, it was automatic. I could make her eyes gleam, This is the sweet, elegant auntie of any dream. Only as giving as she can be, And more loving than anyone could ever see. I want my auntie, here and now, But then again I must allow, For someone to hold onto her, just for a little while, Until I can again see that remembered smile. Poem written by her godson, Jesse Glen Eden Funeral Home 338-7111
