In Loving Memory of
Marigay Catherine Laporte-McCarver
December 10 1952 to May 11 2015
POEM by Roy M McCarver
We sit here and we mourn your death
It tore our hearts watching you take your last breath
We know you wouldn't want us to continue living sad
so we must move on from all of this bad
We know you lived your life through each of your children’s smile
now is our time to just sit back and remember your life was worthwhile.
You were always there and never stoped holding our hand,
You wiped away our tears and helped us understand.
You never saw this world as most everyone does today
you lived as if everything, and everyone was okay
you inspired us kids to never judge any other life
because no one is better than anyone and we all have had our own strife
we were never perfect and each of us had times of bad
you always loved us and never held on to your sad
You gave up your days just so your kids could have fun
you never needed your happiness over any of your daughters or sons.
You let us out to play even if we were punished by dad
as you didn't want us to lose the childhood we had
I remember friends that needed a ride always got to their destination
not because you were a taxi, but you loved everyone’s inspiration
we gave just as you always have given to anyone around
not because we want recognition but because it makes us feel proud
We give and we never want anything back
