Grandmas are the nicest people
They keep busy doing for others.
Seems like we always forget
That they were once "our mothers".

Right now we're remembering one such person
Making gifts for relatives and friends
Crocheting afghans for the bird shows
Sharing a happiness that knew no end.

"Grandma" Payton - we will miss you.
We miss your smile at all our meetings.
Enjoy your life up there with HIM now
As HE tells you of our greetings.

This is for "Grandma" Viola Payton (Delilah's mother)
