In Loving Memory of Poodie
Gone too soon, A life still shining like the sun. Though time has called you far away, Your love and laughter choose to stay.
Poodie—such a name of grace, With kindness worn upon your face. A son, a brother, and a dad, You gave your all in what you had.
Your mother feels the silent space, Your sisters miss your warm embrace. And in your son, your light lives on— A bond eternal, never gone.
We'll speak your name in quiet prayer, And feel your spirit everywhere. Though heavy hearts now bear the cost, You are not gone, just never lost.
So rest, dear Poodie, soft and free— Forever part of family. And when the night is calm and still, We'll hear your laughter on the hill.
