A nurse first then a wife.
A mother of three sons with generations to come.
A tribute to the life you led.
I said goodbye to you today.
In my own quiet way.
I held your hand but your spirit moved away.
You rejoined those that have gone before.
Our dad and grandpa, your husband at the door.
While Charlie, Maude, Ted, Mabel, Elizabeth and Emmy rejoice to guide and to lead
And many others all gather around you so happy to see
You are suddenly whole and content.
So many remembered but never forgotten.
You are absent from here and those you hold dear.
Sorrow hidden, secretly brushing away the tears.
So many remaining, of family and friends.
Always remembered and never forgotten.
A private Graveside Service will be held at the convenience of the family. In Elsie's memory donations may be made to Heritage Christian Services, 349 W. Commercial St., Suite 2795 East Rochester, NY 14445.
