She was my friend She was my wife's bestie She always remembered our children's birthdays She showed God's love to my frail mother She helped us through the tough times She was our focus during hers She loved her husband dearly She loved her children equally so She was beautiful inside She was beautiful out She had a wisdom about her She was compassionate She was kind She lived humbly, not thinking high of herself She had a lovely smile She celebrated birthdays with us, and anniversaries too She was always gracious toward me through all my failings She laughed at my 'cheesy' jokes She made me laugh in turn She trusted completely, her LORD, Jesus Christ She love to sing his praise She was special She was my sister Paul 'No Middle Name' Mann
