-in Loving Memory-
In loving memory, she's gone not dead grandma Rudell left first;
It was the very first time I have seen my daddy cry;
It was at birth she, my mom, dad God gave me breath;
I miss her she left when she was thirty-nine in loving memory
I was nineteen I did survive
Twelve years later my dad also left, and yes I cried
A short, strong man disciplined Navy chef his World War II mission
How I miss him
in loving memory
Truth be told there's to MY knowledge only one who was interested in me
To be my only, girlfriend turn wife and the mother of our three children
She's gone, left four years ago, she too went home to be with the Lord
in loving memory
No one truly dies they've just gone back home
Those tears we shed those we cry
Our loved one is only on loan to us
So this I do decree in loving memory this dedicated verse
~to Rudell Robinson, Annie Bell Lee, Joseph Lee, Carmen Lee Brown Lee~
How I miss them, in loving memory paternal grandmother, Mother, Father, Wife
