Our Memories Build A Special Bridge
By Emily Matthews
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we’re with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
They span the years and warm our lives
Preserving ties that bind;
Our memories build a special bridge
And bring us peace of mind.
We are thinking of you and hoping your memories of Lea will warm and comfort your hearts.

Posted on: Friday, June 12, 2020I was so sorry to hear about Shirley passing. She was a second Mom to me (often better than my own). She would include me in family vacations and encouraged me to try things that frightened or overwhelmed me. She was also such a wonderful listener and was a great Nana to my children as well. Although I hadn’t seen her since she moved North I will never forget her and the wonderful advice she gave to me over the years. Sherry my heart is breaking with you and your entire family at this difficult time.
Love to you all,
Inger
