A more formal obituary is to follow…

Legacy of Love 
A wife, a mother, a grandma too
this is the legacy we have from you. 
You taught us to love and how to fight, 
you gave us strength, you gave us might. 
A stronger person would be hard to find
and in your heart you were always kind.
You fought for us all, in one way or another,
not just as a wife, not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave us your best,
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.
