 Our Tribute to Mary Rose Ward
She's a child of the fairest,
full of love, compassion and ambition of the rarest

She is the loving sister to four handsome brothers
and a dear friend to cousins and many, many others.

To watch her on horseback is one great treat
as she rides through the meadows often with bare feet
She needs not a saddle nor harness nor rein
Even on her wedding day she refuses to be vain

Sand, sea, sunset, stars and shells
will be the background to the chime of her wedding bells

May your days be blessed with joy and may
each evening find you glowing in the sunset.

A toast to Mary Rose (nee Ward) & Mr. Matt Guilette
