Mrs. Teresa A. Raley

A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.”

Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong.

Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. -unknown
