Sweet memories of New Years Day parades in Pasadena. Leona was a trooper!  And, she raised an exceptional son!  We'll "sit and chat" again some day...

This poem written by Leona's mother, Lillie Bibbins at the age of 89. These words are also a true reflection of my Mother, Leona.
        
          UNTITLED

I'LL SAY AT 89 I FEEL FINE
ALTHOUGH I CANNOT GET ABOUT
DO NOT INTEND TO SIT AND POUT
GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO GIVE ME
A VERY GOOD MIND AND EYES TO SEE
NOW I REALIZE I'VE REACHED OLD AGE
SO MUST TURN TO ANOTHER PAGE
WHEN YOU COME VISITING YOU'LL FIND ME THERE
SITTING IN MY OLD ROCKING CHAIR
WITHE HANDS SO BUSY WITH THIS AND THAT
BUT I WILL ALWAYS STOP, SIT AND CHAT
MAY MY FAITH IN GOD INCREASE
SO IN MY LAST YEARS LIVE IN PERFECT PEACE.
