Cousin Mary

The baby of the family, she was the sixth child born   
To Ernesto and Maria del Carmen,
Mary, as she was named, had a heart of gold,   
The sweetest, kindest human being tenfold.  

An auditor by trade,
Mary was all about family to the nth degree.
A loving wife and mother beyond compare,  
Protecting you with her love like a big momma bear. 

If ever there was an Angel here, surely she was the one.  
We can’t begin to judge why she left this earth so soon,   
But knowing Mary like we do, surely she’d say don’t dismay,  
For you will see me again one beautiful, glorious day.

Love you, Cousin!
