A TRIBUTE TO LUCILLE

by J. Dale Whipkey

May 10, 2021

Yoskovich Funeral Home
really is the best.
And everyone who knows them
will readily attest.

Lucille laid there so sweet and nice
as everyone could see.
All loved by her relatives
and especially by me.

These past seventy-four years
have gone by so fast.
And only wish it was God's will
for it to last and last.

I miss her so very much
as the days go by.
She went in such a peaceful way
in which to say good bye.

Her stone is so beautiful
since it is put in place.
And oh how nice it looks
just sitting in that space.

I now will end this little poem
in tribute to her life.
Although it is all over,
I could not have had a better wife.
