Dear Grandma

Dear Grandma, Let's go for one last ride in the speeder car Bring your ukulele and I'll bring my guitar We'll sing, dance, and celebrate your life You were a daughter, sister, mother, and wife A sewer, knitter, gardener, and professional cook Really... was there anything she couldn't cook? Nearly 55 years with your high school sweetheart Jerry and Carlotta, state of the art counterparts You cared for others more than anyone I ever knew and I can't even fathom my number of IOU's Hugs, advice, a ride, or just some food You always left everyone in a better mood Every person here sitting in these pews thought they'd have many more years with you but no days are promised, that's the hard truth 72 years old and you were so full of youth... I know you'd want us to be happy rather than blue So every Easter Sunday we'll rendezvous for LuLu!
