  1. Your sweet Mother will be deeply missed.
    You had to be there, but she could play a great game of euchre.
    She was always jovial, and hinted at times of being mischievous.
    Such a sharp mind. She seemed ageless.
    She is greatly missed.
    Show them how to play the game, dear Margaret.
    A friend to have!!!
