I’m glad you are resting
It’s been a hard two years
I’m in awe of your footprint
It’s been a memorable sixty years
I’m amazed by your stamina
It’s your strength that filled this audience
I’m often in good spirits
It’s your good cheer we all remember
I’m never alone
It’s your loyalty we can all attest to
I’m jealous of those who have gone before me
It’s your style to lead the way
I’m comforted by your strength
It’s the tools you gave me that will carry me through,
Sincerely,
Your daughter,
A woman forged by a formidable father.
