A Memory from the 2019 Gallaway Reunion Written for Anneliese Gallaway on her 95th birthday by Connie Younts Lystad The dinner had already begun The family was gathered there We were laughing and enjoying each other But there was an empty chair. The matriarch of the family Had not yet arrived on the scene She is an elegant beauty and we love her We couldn't start without the queen. She came to us from Germany Oh so many years ago Adding a refinement to the family She was Uncle's Winston's wife, you know! And so we all remained seated Until we saw her come in the door And then the whole family stood in honor Of Aunt Anneliese, who we all adore! She was 94 years old but you wouldn't know it As she floated in with style and grace The party was complete now and we all knew it When we saw that adorable Aunt Ann smile on her beautiful face! Happy 95th Birthday Aunt Ann Love from your niece, Connie Younts Lystad
