In keeping with her love of Ireland she would want to share this poem she wrote: Somewhere in Ireland there’s a piece of my heart Somewhere in Ireland there’s a piece of my heart. It has been there forever alone and apart. Perhaps it’s in Shannon or maybe Kildare; There’s a voice in my memory that is calling me there. Tho not in this lifetime I will see it—it seems. It will always be there if only in dreams. But someday in Ireland my soul shall pass through: I will find that dear place, and my dreams will come true.
