Lauralyn, Jennie, and Gilbert
To our family and all of her friends, what ever name you may have called her we were addressing the same beautiful lady. This was a woman who watched all of us as we danced through life, and danced right along beside us to make sure we didn't miss a step. We all would remember her with such words as Patient, gentle, kind, unselfish, understanding classy! Bundle all of this together and you will remember her always.
Grandma said time and time again how lucky she was, and I would like to share with you in my heart what I thought when she said this.
Being lucky for her was to have been blessed with five beautiful children, and that she was able to teach her children all of what was good in life, and in return her children would then pass this knowledge to all their children, nieces, nephews, and so on, by being such great role models. The big secret in all of this is, she with such strength and wisdom, and in the true sense of the saying without knowing created her own happiness by making sure she surrounded herself with all that is good in life, thats why she felt so lucky.
I would like to end in saying we all should be so lucky to have danced through life with such GRACE and pass with such respect. (remember the secret)
