A long time ago,
a little girl came to earth.
July 8th, 1933
was her official date of birth.
Her life was hard
and sometimes sad.
She wasn't even 3 when
she lost her dad.
With love and hard work
she was raised by her mother.
Not only her but 4 other brothers too.
You take your place in life,
what else can you do?
She was a good daughter
and helped all that she could,
from cleaning and dishes
and carrying in wood.
Her first little job was
sweeping the yard,
the Georgia red clay
packed smooth and so hard.
She told us stories
of her life picking beans in the field,
scrubbing clothes on a washboard,
hands so cold she could not feel.
As she grew into a beautiful
young lady,
she married young and
began having babies.
She brought 4 of us into
this world to make noise,
first 2 girls and then
2 boys.
Life was still hard,
we did not have much,
but we could always
count on mom's loving touch.
Sometimes we would not
listen and get out of line,
but the swat of a flip flop
taught us to mind.
Over the years she
became our best friend,
but being our mother
would never find an end.
As a grandmother and great-granny
she was always so sweet.
Love spoiled us all with
a delicious treat.
A hug and a kiss
and piece of candy to go,
somehow she could never
tell grandchildren "no".
Her nature was to worry
over everyone else,
never stressing to much
about herself.
Her memory and legacy
she left for us behind,
leaves us with enough
treasures to fill up a mine.
We'll love you forever Mom,
Granny, Grandma and Great-Granny.
Survivors include: 4 Children, Judy Morris, Deborah Smith, Jerry (Janice) Nichols, Tommy Nichols; 11 Grandchildren; Grandson, raised as a child, Daniel Cody (Christi) Nichols; 22 Great Grandchildren and 3 Step Great Grandchildren.
