Love Honor and Respect
Love Honor and Respect
For Crowe's Mortuary and Crematory

My wife was lifted up by God
While we held her by the hand,
With her, our daughter and myself,
As she left for promised land.
She passed away in early evening,
Was almost half past seven.
Crowe's came and took her body,
Though her soul had gone to heaven.
They lifted her with love and care,
As we cried to see her go.
I was glad that I had called them.
Their caring softened up the blow.
The house was feeling empty.
A loved one's loss has that effect.
It could have been a lot worse,
But for their honor and respect.
Theirs is not an easy task.
They only work when there's a shroud.
The way they made me feel that night
Had me thanking God out loud.
Her passing was three weeks ago.
I found an urn with hummingbird,
She always loved to watch them
They hovered 'round without a word.
I called Crowe's, and asked them,
If they could transfer all her ash.
They said that they would wait for me.
I should not hurt myself and dash.
When I got there, they were waiting
And with respect they did the deed
I very highly recommend them
If you ever are in need.
