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.
