CLEO LONG
1934-2022
Her knitting needles aren’t clicking
Her sewing and quilting have stopped
Her jigsaw puzzles are piecemeal
Because they are still in the box
Her crosswords are not crossing
Her sudoku aren’t put to the test
‘Cause the hands that kept all this going
Have finally found their rest
In loving memory of our precious puzzler and crafter Cleo May(Alward) Long who died on Monday February 14th, 2022 at 5am. Cleo was at home among family and died peacefully in her sleep.
