MARY

Growing up, I had the best big sister by my side

Watching you take every heavy burden in stride

You overcame everything they threw in your way

Working so hard just to brighten our day

Always giving your time, always helping a friend

A beautiful heart we could trust to the end

Oh, Mary, you had such a zest for this life

A mother of five, shining through the strife

The happiest grandma to those precious two

There was nobody else in the world quite like you

You poured out your soul for the ones that you love

Now you're resting in peace in the quiet above

I sit in the kitchen and I miss your sweet laugh

I miss your home cooking, the warmth of the past

You held all our stories, you remembered everything

Every detail, every joy that the memories bring

With little dog Precious right there at your feet

Your caring spirit made our family complete

Oh, Mary, you had such a zest for this life

A mother of five, shining through the strife

The happiest grandma to those precious two

There was nobody else in the world quite like you

You poured out your soul for the ones that you love

Now you're resting in peace in the quiet above

I wish I had said it a little bit more

How much I truly loved you, down to my core

I wish I had told you how proud I was then

To watch you keep fighting and never give in

You never gave up, you weathered the storm

Now I'll keep your memory tender and warm

Oh, Mary, you had such a zest for this life

A mother of five, shining through the strife

Two sisters, one brother, and friends who stay true

We're holding the love that was given by you

The happiest grandma, a heart made of gold

We'll carry your story, it will always be told
