Cherish the moments for the memories fit

This is the day G-d has made. Let us be glad and rejoice in it.

We give thanks for everything and all.

 

At Disney a family gathering standing in line

Only to hear of Edith passing

But time marches on and a generation continues

Erica, Lindsey, Ben, Perry, Max

Things will be just fine – relax

 

We could rattle on forever

But to cover it all – never

What you mean to our clan

We are your biggest fans

 

We will go on and always smile

Remembering Thanksgiving Hincks, Jumbo shrimp

A small gathering – just family – thirty plus

The love is felt by all of us.
