A True Southern Gem

A True Southern Gem

Aunt Becky 1949 – 2008

Aunt Becky, a firecracker in every way,

With her wise cracks and southern charm on display,

She lit up the room with her infectious grin,

Her laughter echoing like a joyful hymn.


She had a sparkle in her eyes, full of mischief,

Always ready with a joke or a funny story,

Aunt Becky was a force to be reckoned with.

Her spirit bright and her love never to be missed.


Despite her cancer, she was a pillar of strength,

Leading us through the darkest of nights,

With her wisdom and grace, she showed us the way,

To live life to the fullest, to always stand tall and fight.


Aunt Becky, we all miss you more than words can say,

But your memory will live on in our hearts everyday,

You were quite the firecracker, a true southern gem,

Forever in our hearts, an Aunt Becky and a friend.
