ARCHIBEQUE -- Mary V. Archibeque June 12, 1934 - February 21, 1997 Scatter me not to restless winds Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by... When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times... The family ties we shared. Don't leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see... A single lasting proof that says I loved...and you loved me. Love and miss you, Mom The Archibeque Family
