Shirley Lee Eldred

Today is a sad day for those of us gathered here,
To say goodbye to a woman who was loved so dear.
So if you will bear with me for a minute or two,
I'd like to share a poem with all of you about the aunt that I knew.

Aunt Shirley:

Your doors were always open for one and all,
You didn't need a appointment or even have to call.
The coffee was always on boiling hot and strong,
And that's the way it stayed all day long.
It wouldn't matter to you if it were day or night,
As long as we didn't come over to start a fight!
You'd always answer your door with a smile,
saying: Come on in and stay for a while.
She'd usher you to the kitchen table telling you to have a seat,
And in the very next sentence
would ask you if you'd had anything to eat!
And that's the way I'll always remember my Aunt Shirley!

God Bless You!
