‘Our Guardian Angel’

A little unselfish for others you lived,
Not to receive but always to give,
Helpful, willing, thoughtful, and kind,
Beautiful memories left behind.
Sadly missed along the way,
Quietly remembered every day.
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you are always there.
Loved forever and sadly missed.
