Aunt Anna
We will miss your smile.
Your Dancing Style.
How to get things right.
When we did it wrong.
Your words were very strong.
However when we got it right.
Your smile was very bright.
Hope your Birthday in Heaven was fun
Celebrating with your sisters would be Number One.
I am sure a Long Way to Tipperary was sung.
