Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a floral piece, If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
As any friends could say,
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us this day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much, Whatever the part.
The family of Margo Perkins
