In Honor of my wonderful Mother and Friend
Dearest Elyn,
Rest in peace
Look down upon your family and friends
Send us blessings to carry on your ways
You were there for your sister's children
You were there for your brother's children
You were there for your own children
You were there for your husband, Arthur
Elyn, you taught us the meaning of faith
The meaning of unconditional love
The meaning of saving for what we truly need
The meaning of a sound education
You truly displayed the virtue of Patience
And the virtue of Perseverance
You were a Matriarch in your vision
For your children and entire family
It will be hard now that you are gone
We will each carry a part of you within ourselves
For us, you had never ending love
We deeply respect you, Elyn
In the arms of God you will rest
In heaven with our dearly departed
Until we are united again, dear Elyn
We forever celebrate you in our hearts!
