As far as I'm concerned, she was my grandmother, not my great aunt. Here is a poem for her....
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure.
The precious, poignant, tender gift
Of Memory.....that will keep
Our dear ones on our hearts
Although God gives them sleep.
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And our worlds' a better place
.....because
We had them for a while.
===
Here's another one for Grandma Bray....
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, then pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Grandmas' arms and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.
