MINNIE CHAPPEL In loving memory of our dear mother, Minnie, who left us February 20, 2013. She always learned to watch for us, Anxious if we were late, In winter by the window In summer by the gate. And though we mocked her tenderly Who had such foolish care, The long way home would seem more safe, Because she waited there. Her thoughts were all so full of us, She never could forget And so I think that where she is, She must be watching yet. Waiting till we come home to her Anxious if we are late Watching from Heaven's window, Leaning from Heaven's gate. - Sadly missed by your family, Gloria, Alex, Lorraine, Janice and all your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
