Dear Ones,

Alice Baumbach put this on my facebook page today:

"SHIFTING THE SUN

When your mother dies, say the Irish,
you lose your umbrella against bad weather.
May her sun be your light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Welsh,
you sink a foot deeper into the earth.
May you inherit her light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Canadians,
you run out of excuses. 
May you inherit her sun, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, Say the French,
you become your own mother.
May you stand up in her light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Indians,
she comes back as the thunder.
May you inherit her light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Russians,
she takes your childhood with her.
May you inherit her light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the English,
you join her club you vowed you wouldn't.
May you inherit her sun, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Armenians,
Your sun shifts forever,
and you walk in her light.

--Diana Der-Hovanessian"

Here's the obituary my niece, Michelle, and I wrote this afternoon. (Spacing
is weird. Can't figure out why.)

WILLIE MAE CUMMINGS HALE

Born July 1, 1912, in Floyd County, Texas, Willie Mae completed her life
March 6, 2012.

Committed to the Church of Christ all her life, she was an honored member of
the Lindsay congregation for 10 years. Previously, she worked and lived at
Boles Children's Home, Quinlan, Texas, for 25 years, a cherished part of the
staff.

Beloved by her daughter, Jann McGuire, of Lindsay and sons Joe Hale of
Dallas Texas and Kyle Hale of Murfreesboro, Arkansas, she also leaves nine
grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and 4 great-great grandchildren and
numerous nieces and nephews.. 

Friends are invited to a memorial celebration at Lindsay Senior Villa, 1127
W. Fresno St., on Sunday, March 18, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. On July 1, the family
will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Willie Mae's birth by placing her
ashes with her infant son, Patrick, and her parents, Sid and Susie Cummings,
in Floydada, Texas.

 

Love and blessings,

Jann
