May 15, 1931 — January 23, 2003

Rich in love,
a woman whose gift
was giving.
Her heart, her warmth, her laugh,
she gives herself continually.
Like a stream, her love flows
through everyone she meets.
From Chicago brat to Bonita Rose,
she served the skies till
she met a man to love.
Together they made a home and
raised a family, but it was
she that taught us all to love.
Her kindness, her strength, her wisdom,
she's mom ... the reason we are all
rich in love
