In Loving Memory
Evelyn Katherine Mendyk Gier
September 29th, 1921

I call you "Ma," though you are not my mother,
But more a ma than any ma could be.
I've come to love you more than any other;
You took me in your charge and set me free.
You let me run and kissed me when I fell;
You kept your eyes on me and let me stray.
I learned things hard, which means I learned them well,
And got to know myself along the way.
My hope and faith and pride are all from you.
My roots are in your heart; you are my home.
You will be part of everything I do,
In all my thoughts a wise and lovely poem.
For all our lives we'll have this common ground:
You were my rock when else I would have drowned
Also Known as (Momma )
And Mom To Countless Children.
A Mother To Her Own 7 Children
And Over 100 Other Babies Who Would Have Never Known a Real Mom Or Had a Family Of Their Own.
It Never Mattered To You What age sex or color a child, but did they need love and a home and Most of all a Mother To Care what happened to them. You Were Always There With a Gentle Smile and A Loving Touch!
God Bless You Evelyn As You Did Many Little Children Through The Years.
In Memory Of Theresa Marie
Evelyn's Baby Daughter Who Was Only With Her Mother One Day.
