Lucille E. Smith

In memory of our beloved mother,

Lucille E. Smith

August 19, 1922 -

November 26, 2019

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that she’s left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she’s gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let that live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she’d want:

Smile,

Open your eyes,

Love

And go on.
