This evening of memories, of laughter and fun The centre of attention, there can be only one You were always a grafter, for that was your style But you filled us with laughter, and the mischievous smile Your personality infectious, so loving and kind But you were just a big flirt, with a dirtier mind Nothing was sacred, you would take us to task Knew everything about everyone, or you would just ask You loved all the glamour, of handbags and shoes Lippy and hairspray, were always with you In case you met Robbie, or some other star When off on your travels, to Lake Garda’s bars To say you liked Christmas, well what could we say You wished that your motor, was a reindeer and sleigh Bloody minded and stubborn, ultra organised to All part of your makeup, the stories of you They talk of success, of your wedding fayre The hours you worked, your knowledge to share When Zara was born, our hearts were so glad With you now a mother, and Ian a Dad Your happiness gleaming, and life now fulfilled With a beautiful daughter, we were all of us thrilled There are so many memories, still tales we could tell From all friends and family, who knew you so well That big hearty laugh, it sure made a din Those sparkling eyes, and huge cheeky grin For you now this evening, the entertainments begun A life full of music, of laughter and fun.
