HELEN MONCEK
October 14, 1916 - April 6, 2000
Our Mother kept a garden,
Garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave all our lives their start.
She turned us to the sunshine,
And encouraged us to dream
Fostering and nurturing,
The seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rain came,
She protected us enough;
But not too much because she knew,
We would stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example,
Always taught us right from wrong;
Markers for our pathway,
That will last a lifetime long.
We are our Mother's garden,
We are her legacy.
With love Bernice and families
