Birthday and a funeral

Today my grand daughter turned 3
A blessing to be sure
A wonderful beginning; pure 
We're celebrating with a party...
Also today there was a funeral
To celebrate the life of another
A friend's mother; sadness reigned
85 years is a good innings
A long life full of blessings
Children, grand children,
great grandchildren
Being thankful that she lived
Now looking forward to another
Yet to come
