poem for mena

mena you left us without saying good-bye. you taught us all who you have loved and known not to say good-bye.

when you left, i was really devasted. I wish you were here. My one wish this christmas is that i wanted you there.

your legacy will never be forgotten. some day when i get married, i know your loving spirit will guide me.

your life was a journey. the journey started when you were born. god's plan for you was set. on october 18, 2007, he said child come home.

i know and the family knows that when you passed away, we knew that u werent suffering. riches and gold is all there waiting for you.

Mena, until we meet again, good night and god speed. we Love You.

Hi guys i'm so sorry to hear about Ma - I ran into Lynn last night and she told me. I feel awful that I wasn't there. Please know that you are all going to get through this - Ma was very special to everyone, loved by all. And although it is so difficult now, especially for the kids, it will get better and you will laugh again with great stories and memories! Stay strong and please let me know if there is anything I can do!
