“When I quit this mortal shore
And mosey round the world no more
Don’t weep, don’t sigh, don’t sob
I may have struck a better job.
Don’t go buy a large bouquet
For which you’ll find it hard to pay.
Don’t mope around and feel all blue
I may be better off than you.
Don’t tell folks I was a saint
Or any other thing I ain’t
If you have jam like that to spread
Please hand it out before I’m dead.
If you have roses, bless your soul
Just pin one on my buttonhole.
While I’m alive and well today
Don’t wait until I’ve gone away.”

I am so sorry about Aunty Loreen. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. One of my girlfriends said it best, “I guess they were one angel short in heaven, but no longer.”
Aunty Loreen, thank you for your kind spirit, generous and caring soul and for all the lessons you taught me. Most of all, thank you for all the love you have given me over the years.
