Ninety laps around the sun, that’s quite enough for me Said the last leaf of her generation, releasing her mortal tree. The doctor called it cancer, Mom called it her ticket out. Just let the cancer do its thing, we’ll take the hospice route To I Care Hospice staff, we offer genuine praise, For help guiding our Mom through those really challenging days. You kept her so peaceful and free from all pain, A comfort that words cannot fully explain. The fifth of Bill and CeCelia Buckley, Cokeville her childhood home Always a Wyoming native, where the deer and the antelope roam At a college dance in Laramie, no longer a high school girl She took a bit of convincing, but eventually, fell in love with Earl Marry me dear, let’s do life together he proposed to Afton Buckley, She shook her head no and responded in kind, “I don’t think my Mom will let me” But marry they did and for 64 years they built their happily ever after Together again, never to part, Eternity is their next chapter.
