Poem -

Yes I was here for 101 years four months, and eleven days, yea how blessed was I. I had fun but I also served God, don't think I left him out. I wasn't perfect, but I wasn't all bad either. Tell the truth and don't say the wrong thing. But guess what I made it right with my maker Father God at the end. I also said I love you, well if not 100 times almost 50 times. I know. you heard me because I was on the phone and sister held it to my mouth so that each of you could hear it. that's what I was intend for you to do was listen. I want you all to be good now and don't do nothing that I wouldn't do. I love each one of you. And most of all my prayer is that God Bless you and listen to HIM!!
