Thank you for being my family
When I couldn't be with my own
Thank you for being my rock
When the love of my life was called home
Thank you for keeping me company
And never letting me feel alone
Now as I take this journey
To my heavenly home
I remember
I remember
Thank you for everything you've done
Aunt Tommie
