To Aunt Mary

To Aunt Mary
You were the epitome of kindness and love.  No one ever touched your life who was not also touched by your generosity and your willingness to help overcome every need he faced.
You spent yourself on others and you asked nothing in return.  You were paid, however for your benevolence -- you were paid in earth's most prized commodity -- you were paid in love.
Everyone you knew lavished love upon you because you had given love in such abundance to each of them.  As one who received without measure from your bounty, may I say, all these years after your departure, I still praise GOD for allowing you to have been part of my life.
On the anniversary of your birth, the hearts you touched still hold a precious place for you, still count your influence in their lives to be among their treasures.
You left us way too soon...but we are so glad we had you.
