Memorial Poem for Barb

I Remember
©2018 Trudy A. Goold

From childhood I remember
Lasagna Christmas Eve,
Boney M on the tape player,
The small Christmas tree.
Coloured crystal glasses
For the adults, and
After Eights on the table,
With love and hugs for all.

Skating lessons in Eglinton Park,
Watching sports when we played,
Looking after us when new
Siblings were born. Using
Suitcases as airplanes - we still
Have the picture; Tony boogeying
To Neil Diamond playing on the radio.
From childhood, I remember.

I remember other things,
Stuffed leopard on the couch,
Animal decorative plates
On the wall, and the windows
Open to the balcony. Helping
Set up the DVD player, and
Watching the figure skating
Whenever it was on.

I remember your close friends,
Adopted as family by us all
Thanks to the ties you wove between,
You were heart and soul and
The ties that bind, giving us
A family of choice as well
As blood. Generous, patient,
A willing friend and mentor.

But most of all I remember
The care, love, and attention
That we could always get from you.
It didn't matter what the time
Or the season of the year,
You were there with listening ear
When we needed you.
That's what I remember.

I've known Barb since 2000 and have always found her to be a gentle soul and the voice of reason. She was one of several friends who met in a Facebook chatroom each month, and she furnished the most wonderful trivia quizzes! She was such a devoted friend to so many and was an inspiration to us all.

Through a mutual love of Irish music, and Anthony Kearrns, we became friends. I am distressed to read this news. I will miss Barb's smile, and lovely personality. Rest in Peace, my friend.
