FRANKLIN, INDIANA
She was like the sun.
She was the center around which we all revolved.
Near or far, her light, warmth, and love always shone upon us.
On the good days, she taught us to believe all things are possible.
On the bad days, she reminded us of the rainbow’s promise of better tomorrows.
She was, and still is, our example of goodness and grace.
And now she is gone.
