The podcast ends with a song of which she says, "This song is one I performed on Bruno Cherry Sunday August 8, 2021 in Bruno. It is an original song based on a poem my mother wrote, ”My Days”, in memory of her parents Peter and Helen Beckman.  My mother requested this poem be read at her funeral (Mom died July 10, 2020). A couple of months later I added some lines and composed some music to it. Mother wrote for 70 plus years and was published at St. Peter’s College Society magazine many times and performed her poem many times at The Society launch at St. Peter’s College as well as other community events."
