Joann “MaMa” McClaine
BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

In loving memory of our beloved Joann “MaMa” McClaine

August 22, 1932 – December 16, 2015

BEYOND THE SUNSET

Should you go first and I remain, to walk the road alone,

I’ll live in memories garden, dear with happy days we’ve known.

In spring I’ll wait for roses red, when faded, the lilacs blue.

In early fall when brown leaves fall,

I’ll catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought.

Each thing you’ve touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot.

I’ll hear your voice, I’ll see your smile, tho blindly I may grope,

The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope.

Should you go first and I remain, one thing I’ll have you do,

Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I’ll follow you.

I want to know each step you take, so I may take the same.

For someday down that lonely road, you’ll hear me call your name.

Happy Birthday in heaven MaMa, we miss you and love you so very much.

Your Loving Husband Joe and Your Family
