I’ll miss your smile
And your beautiful face,
Bringing a kind of joy
No one can replace.
My Grammy, great grandmother,
Five generations long—
Leaving a legacy
Both fulfilling and strong.
Christmas memories,
Loving hugs, trips to Arizona,
A trip to the Hub, always with ice cream,
And family reunions in Minnesota.
I’ll cherish it all, but my favorite joy
Was watching my Grammy
Hold her great-great grand-baby,
my beautiful baby girl.
The strongest woman I knew
Who fought till the end
Will always be remembered in all her glory,
A glorious matriarch!
Until we meet again.
Ded. Donna Marie Bertrand
