Yvonne Ward

For the caring and committed life you live,

for the values that you stand for

and the gentle ways you share them,

for your openhearted readiness to give.

You are such an inspiration

with your eternal smile,

so genuine and kind

in all of your relationships with others.

And I know that I'd admire you

for all these things, and more...

even if we weren't Daughter and Mother.
