Charlene F Michaud Holden will be remembered with love long after her passing.

Her arms are always open wide

To welcome you with love

Her smile is brighter than the stars

That sparkle high above

She listens without judgement

She takes the time to share

God bless this dear Grandma

And hold her in your care
