My Grandmothers Poem
If Grandma had a meaning
I’ll tell you what it’d be
if you were close to yours
like mine was close to me
Grandmas are always there
to lend a shoulder and dry your tears
to comfort you in everything
and help conquer all your fears
Despite all the wrong you’ve done
and all the wrong you’ll do
a grandma will always be there
and unconditionally will love you
A grandma will inspire you
to follow your every dream
she tells you “you wont be alone”
because you’re going to be a team
Grandmas are always busy
although their hearts are tame
they tell everyone about you
so everyone knows your name
Grandmas will keep everything
from when you’re young till now
and when you dance on Broadway
for her you’ll take a bow
Without grandmas we’d be lost
and our tears would not be dry
and we would not be encouraged
to spread our wings and fly
To my grandma I say “Thank you”
My heart will always be
with you every day, and I know
you’re here with me.

Grandmothers are very special persons. Always with a cookie, a hug, or a smile to brighten any grandchild’s day.
The homemade potholders and quilts will always bring memories when we use them.
Grandma will always be loved and remembered.
MY PRAYERS ARE YOU OUR FAMILIES.
She was very nice person and she loved talking to people
and she always had a smile on her face you meet her.
So sorry to hear the sad news, our sympathy to all of Selma’s family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to the Hahn and Troyna families. May you find comfort in your faith during this time of loss. Selma was a special lady and I am grateful to have met her and had a chance to show her California so many years ago.
There are paerents and grandparents that have left this world and I say thier names aloud and in some small way to confirm that these people really did exist and that they are still a precious part of our family’s memories. I love you Gramma Selma.
Grandma Selma was my Great Grandma! I have very few memories of her (mostly from when I was little) since she lived so far away, but I always remember how kind and loving she was. I know she was a good woman and is in a better place. RIP <3
Selma knew the love of a special family. What a tough year it has been for all of you. My heart goes out to you as do my thoughts and prayers. I wish you peace and a time of healing.
