Legacy of Love – a wife, a mother, a grandmother too. This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and about Christ our Lord. You gave us strength and laughter. A stronger person would be hard to find. And in your heart, you were always kind. You prayed for us all. You gave your heart for us all. Now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you've earned your sleep. Your love in our hearts we'll eternally keep. A mom I am proud to call my mother-in-law.
