There was a young lady called Jean,

On whose name she was not very keen!

Some call her JA

Which is sweet in its way,

But I think we should call her The Queen!!

There once was a lady of Hay

Who went by the name of JA

We took her about on the Hay mini bus

But she took us to task for failing to ask

If we could pick her up last!

For My Family and Friends

What a lucky girl am I to have such family and friends

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who made my life so happy

Your love, and the time and care you spent

Preparing such feasts, holidays, your gifts, your cards

But most of all I feel a sense of togetherness

With all my love, and God bless you all

JA.

Adapted by Julian from a poem written by JA after a party in Hay, and read at the interment of her ashes in Putley Church on 7 Sept 2019.
