Aunt Pat
AUNT PAT
This is about my dear Aunt Pat
She left this world way too early
Leaving loving memories for all
The best of course to her family
Being truly the sweetest person
Who you could ever really meet
She made everyone feel loved
Even from the very first greet
I never saw her without a smile
Or without laughter as I recall
Passing along a great example
In a joyfully loving manner to all
She loved our Lord and Savior
And lived by His word each day
Now she is at home in Heaven
For eternity she will forever stay
My Uncle Dubby went there first
As God’s intended destiny of fate
Maybe to open up his arms to her
As she comes in those pearly gates
That COVID virus took them both
A devastating tragedy so terrible
The entire family tries to be strong
Accepting what is now unforgettable
There is a special day I phoned each year
Because her birthday is right after mine
Aunt Pat’s death came too soon to me
It was a week before her birthday time
I do know now that the Lord had plans
For her new year to start right next to Him
To also have Uncle Dubby right by her side
What better way could there ever be to begin
