When it came to family She was the best It wasn't a job It was love, nothing less. If you've been to her house, You've eaten her food, But only an angel can alter your mood. For this special angel Didn't just share a meal She filled up your heart This angel was real. Her zest for life Was so strong you see She angeled those loved like you and like me. "Comb your hair" She'd yell at Nick He was so handsome His hair was so thick. "Sweep off your clothes!" Don't enter this room. Til the sawdust is gone Or I'll lower the broom". "Yes Muzz" Ol Nick would say He'd brush off his pants Til she said OK. And oh by the way This angel could dance With Nick as her partner They really could prance. They'd light up the room As they waltzed ‘round the floor. Oh Mini dear Mini Nick sure did adore. Well the party is starting For Nick up above Cause Mini the angel Is there with that love. "Brush off your clothes!" "Go comb your hair!" You know Nick is happy Now that Mini is there. Thank you dear lord for Mini's good deeds An angel amongst us Who tended our needs.     Â
