Puddin You came to fill our lives with love, Big was your job, but you were tough. Life here will never be the same, Someone is missing, Debbie by name. Long are the strings of broken hearts, Sharp is the pain, like the steel of a dart. Time heals everything, so they say. But Puddin, I'll never see that day. Happiness in life brought you your dreams, Some never find it, or so it seems. Blessed gifts God sent loving and free, Oh no! Look around you, what do you see? A loving partner always there, Mess with Debbie, if you dare. A son's love that filled you with bliss, Loving and watching over a Mom that's his. A brother and sister at your side, Helping you handle life's ride. Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins too, Nieces, Nephews, and Puddin, these are just a few. Friends are countless, there's just no end, Some could some way be kin. Most of all, here they come, Granddaughters, Emily and Katelynn, so full of love and fun. Filling a space you thought gone, giving more spirit than you've ever known. Then comes me at the bottom, of course, bringing up the rear for now and evermore. Want you to know my love for you comes from a mother's broken heart, Pudding, you'll be missed every day, in each and every loving way. Cleo Darilek
