Melva Luisa Jouve Alvear

Melva
Madre, hermana, esposa, abuela, cuñada, tía, prima, madrina, amiga, compañera...

Como una oración silenciosa
Ella siempre estuvo ahí.
Nunca egoísta, siempre amable
Estas son las vivencias que ella nos deja.

Amó a todos, sin excluir a ninguno
Sus hijos fueron su mayor orgullo.

La felicidad no la logró por lo que recibió
Sino más bien por lo que dió;
En forma indeleble, gentil y amorosamente
Como la dama elegante que fue y por siempre será!
