I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave When life is done.
Funeral Services were held Wednesday, November 23, 2011, at the Catholic Community of St. Jude, DeWitt, MI with Rev. Dwight M. Ezop officiating. A Scripture Service was
held.
Those desiring may make contributions to the Catholic Community of St. Jude.
