Our tribute to you Marie

A tribute to Marie, Marie, you seemed to draw the short straw in life, Again and again, Yet somehow you were able find a way to keep giving, To those who we thought less deserving. But giving was in your nature, As it seems to be with most who have little that is physical to give, But a whole lot more of the spiritual to impart. We hope if you are looking down on us as we gather here today, You are at peace now with, the belated knowledge, That your life mattered, Your presence was a blessing, And you did make a difference, Inspiring others to do better, We wish your stay with us could have been longer, But we pray that you have found the peace, That you had been searching for, For far too long. I now call upon others to share stories that, Show how much your life mattered to them, Then, now and in all times to come. (We are interring her ashes after all these years when the immediate family are all together at the same time)
