“Let me give” Author unknown
I do not know how long I’ll live
But while I live, Lord, let me give
Some comfort to someone in need
By smile or nod - kind word or deed
And let me do whatever I can
To ease things for my fellow man.
I want not but to do my part
To “lift” a tired or weary heart.
To change folks frowns to smiles again
Then I will not have lived in vain
And I’ll not care how long I’ll live
If I can give - and give - and give
Special recognition would like to be given to Bill Watson Jr., Andrea Vogelsang and Jessica Picar. They graciously carried out the wishes of Marva’s late husband and his love for her by overseeing her care. The family would also like to thank the staff at The Glen for the exceptional care and love given to Marva.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alzheimer’s Association.
