May God bless you and your...
Her body lies still, quiet as if asleep.
Remember her full life; don't cry and weep.
Life perhaps isn't fair, and Death even less,
I don't understand it, I must confess.
We fleetingly exist, experience joy and pain;
Then mourn our losses, rail and complain...
But what would she want, if she were alive?
Would she want us to wallow, just barely survive?
Would she want more? Perhaps our courage -
To overcome grief and its cruel bondage!
