Aunt Ellie:
We understand that your sister-in-law, Florence, the Perle Mesta of Heaven, arranged quite a hoedown when you arrived last Saturday.
You even had Jesus as the caller!
"Ladies and gents, take to the floor
And celebrate what you lived your whole life for.
I’m talking about spending all of eternity
In company with family and friends, My Father, My Mother and Me.
"Bow to your partner, bow to your corner
Now everyone turn and bow toward sister Eleanor.
Sometimes a little meek but always pure of heart
Never was Eleanor one to upset the apple cart.
"A loyal daughter and sister, a loving wife and caring aunt
Who always had a constant smile and bountiful laugh,
Eleanor lived life, loving others but God foremost.
So dance an Irish jig, sweet sister, as we raise the roof with your well-earned toast."
