My deepest condolences to my extended family. Mom will be missed, but she lives through all of you and everyone she ever came in contact with. Mom welcomed me into her home with open arms and treated me as one of her own. That’s who she is!!! Time never changed that, and neither will this. I love you and thank you for taking away some of your time for me, I remember our conversations and I will always keep you close to my heart. You burned that piercing smile in my heart many years ago, I will hold onto that memory and make sure I give it to the world until we meet again. I love you!!!

There is no sorrow
Time heals never;
No loss, betrayal,
Beyond repair.
Balm for the soul, then,
Though grave shall sever
Lover from loved
And all they share.
See the sweet sun shines
The shower is over;
Flowers preen their beauty,
the day how fair!
Brood not too closely
On love, nor duty;
Friends long forgotten
May wait for you where
Life with death
Brings all to an issue;
None will long mourn for you,
Pray for you, miss you,
Your place left vacant,
You not there.

Put down the rainbow’s end to quest beyond,
Releasing raging storms down from your eyes
Take up your cross, and drink today’s new dawn.
A sojourner’s flute echoes truths far gone
Kind fallacies pouring from the skies
Put down the rainbow’s end to quest beyond.
Yielded sorrows anchored beneath the pond
Their absolutes floating in a reprise
Take up your cross, and drink today’s new dawn.
Afflicted soul restoring wounded bonds
Vanished virtues, resurrected ties,
Put down the rainbow’s end to quest beyond.
Fresh fantasies misplaced but not far gone,
Exposing hidden reveries with sighs
Take up your cross, and drink today’s new dawn.
Dance now, beloved one, discover life’s new song
Only feed what edifies your temple’s high
Put down the rainbow’s end to quest beyond
Take up your cross, and drink today’s new dawn.

Cutie,
I dreamt of you last year. I thought of you often, out of the blue. I found out that you have passed on by accident. Or was it really. You were an incredible woman, and I am truly sad that you have passed away. I wish your family all the peace and love and strength that I know you would give to them. Ive never stopped thinking about any of you… Please accept my condolences and warmest wishes.
