Totally unexspected. We,ll never know quite why.We will never know the reason another good person had to die. Wollowing in our sorrow, only our memories at hand, today we will band together to remember one great women.

You lived a life of nurturing, pourpose, principle and care. The world was a whole lot better while she was in your care. The air was a little sweeter, the song birds song more sweet, the christmas dinner table, more bountiful a treat.

But now we can not see you and it feel as though you are not their. The world is now quiter and the air a little stale. But I know the nights is darkest just before the morn and in the darkness of night I will see you in the stars.

The days will go on into years and like summer the night will grow short. But you will always be around in the air and in the earth.

Love always to the women I some day hope to become.
