Annie Bell Lee-
Came from Muskogee, Oklahoma;
As a teenager came to care for her elderly Auntie in Omaha;
Whereas she met her handsome older new Navy guy,
Two years later became her husband;
Birth 3 sons-one died nine months later
One born blind, nine months later came, I
A strong black woman died at 39 years
I miss you Mom didn't say I love you enough you see;
So endearing I thank God for thee;
~
