Dollie
Howard nee Thompson
“The
Heart and Soul of the Howard Family”
A gentle
refined beautiful lady with lots of class
Everyone loved
this calm, non-judgmental, lass
Of adversity
she never spoke; gossip she held at bay
Country folk
knew unkindness was never her way
An apron she
always wore as she tidied up the house
Her work was
never done tho she scurried like a mouse
The floors she
washed daily as cleanliness must prevail
Ornaments and
pictures everywhere- treasures not for sale!
A meal her
visitors must have as soon as they come
So much news
of family and such- now for some fun
The organ and
fiddles a sure way to delight some said
Dollie and
Bert played till friends were ready for bed
The yarns,
tales and family stories told and retold
Provided the
clan with strength and roots to unfold
Dollie was the
family heart- a silent leader she was
Generations of
Howards still follow her example because-…
Loving Memories-
Carol Vulliamy…
