A Class Act

A Class Act

written by: Marie Johnson-Ladson

You were committed to your family and encouraged them to be their best
You paid attention to detail and made sure things were right
You were a joy to be around and always had a smile
You loved to dance, entertain, and have fun
Your laughter was contagious that spread to others
You made others feel good in a certain kind of way
You made good choices of where to travel and saw many places
You brought others along to enjoy the good times
You were down to earth and enjoyed with most
You were stylish and sophisticated when you wanted to be
Your family and friends are proud of what you accomplished in life and that you were part of their lives
All these things your family and friends will not forget
Because
There won’t ever be another
What “A Class Act” you were!
