“All the Colors of Ildikó”

She never chose just one bright hue—

She loved them all, and we all knew.

From crayon reds to skies of blue,

She saw the world in every view.

With magazines and colored pens,

She made the dull feel new again.

A page, a day, a life she’d fill

With laughter, warmth, and quiet will.

Family and friends—her greatest part,

Each one a piece within her heart.

Montana skies, Texas sun,

She found her joy in everyone.

She loved the little ones the most—

A child’s laugh, her proudest boast.

Animals too, with gentle care,

She found soft beauty everywhere.

Andras, always with a tease,

Worms in Easter eggs, did not please,

But Ildikó laughs, her spirit free,

She knows it's love and lets it be.

And Emese, with knowing eyes,

Would say it soft and true—

“Pupzi,” like a lullaby,

A name made just for you.

Gero -Put the lime in the coconut,

And they sang their song with sweet delight,

So here's to silly songs we sing,

And that was just their thing—

Ildikó says Debbie Boone Temesváry still lights the way,

In every heart she touched each day.

Temesváry blood, stubborn and bright—

You’ve always been my calm and cosmic light.

She loved Sound of Music, sweet and true,

And sang Edelweiss like morning dew.

With every note, her heart would shine—

A timeless soul, both strong and kind.

But in the quiet, soft and still,

Where deeper roots and hearts entwine,

Teréz would hum Edelweiss,

And in her arms, your soul would shine.

And oh, her sayings—still so clear:

“Just kidding,” whispered in your ear.

“No work, no pay!” she’d grin and say,

While making magic out of day.

“Do you like sugar? Me neither!”—that tease,

“Ring my bell... or ring my neck, please!”

“Read my lips,” she'd sass with flair,

Then laugh like joy was in the air.

“Don’t call me Ildikó néni, no way,”

“She’s not my mother—she’s my Anyuka,” she’d say.

Susan, Sandra and Amy Hoops

Forever friends and sister’s hearts

Entwined in loving loops.

Not from poems carved in marble,

Nor sonnets sung on stage,

But love is built in moments—

In jokes, in names, in age.

Each note a petal, white and pure,

Each word a balm, a lullaby—

A love that held you, taught you, raised you,

One that never says goodbye.

Her love, her light, her playful grace—

Still dances in each sacred place.

She didn’t just bring color here—

She was the color—bright and clear.
