Birth Of An Angel

Birth Of An Angel

1998 by Bud Lemire

On October 4th 1956, there was born a baby girl

Brenda's parents were happy, she was brought into this world

She had the gift, inside a heart of gold

With love to share, as the future would unfold

Brenda had her share of problems, just like any other

She overcame them all, with the love of her Mother

Many years unravel, and she met that special man

She moved away from Minnesota, and then moved back again

They had been blessed, with a special little girl

Filling that void in their lives, she was as precious as a pearl

They named her Crystal, because she was shining like a gem

And she had lots of love, which she shared with them

She grew into a woman, a beauty like no other

They were also, watching over Brenda's younger brother

Moving ahead into the future, while working on her genealogy

She was stuck on one part of her family tree

This was the same place, where my grandparents were

These are my relatives, I was absolutely sure!

It had started with Norma Wasmer, searching on the Net

Joe Lemere told her I could help, and it was a safe bet

Norma passed this onto Laura, and then she wrote to me

And the cry for my assistance, soon turned into a plea

Laura, & Norma descend from Hercules, my grandfather's brother

Laura was in touch with Eleanor, a descendant of another

A Gaspard Lemier, another brother settling the North Dakota land

Brenda was writing her, and so our contact began

Brenda wrote me a letter, she had E-Mail and was On-Line

From a friend's house, I E-Mailed her with a sign

A month later, E-Mail was hooked up for me

Cousins from all over, sent messages to see

Brenda became, a part of each and every day

I looked forward, to everything she had to say

And as the year passed on by, and came to an end

I felt very much closer, to this special cousin and friend

This one is about Brenda LEMIER - COOPER of Minnesota.

And the story told here is true, I am her cousin, my name is Bud Lemire.

Brenda has since passed, but I shall always cherish the memories of

a very special cousin who kept in touch with me and was a wonderful friend

as well. Thank you Brenda!
