An Angel Amongst Us

An Angel Amongst Us Born on Christmas Day there is no doubt That an angel she was on a long term leave from heaven Her love was felt by all those she touched A lady and gentle soul through and through Giving a smile and a thank you to everything we did To every time we included her in our lives Always giving a beautiful smile, compliment and hug She was a teacher too, showing us how to be brave m in the face of challenges Showing us how to be strong when we may felt weak Reminding us what courage really looked like For my children, she was a hero, who taught them through her actions more than her words To Gladys, we all were her family and she wanted to be there for all the important things in our lives A mother to all the children of her life, all of us hers, although none of us were What a gift, what a special soul. And her husband Herb, a man standing by her side for 68 wonderful years She was as gracious to him as she was to us all. While we may be sad for our loss, we really must feel blessed for how long God allowed Gladys to stay To teach us of love, of family, of grace each and every day To share her love of life, her love of everything we held dear Gladys we love you now and will every passing year.
