An original poem by me
A Star For My Aunt Pris- By Randall Ott
12/21/2010
As the evenings sky drops in tears of rain,
As the chill is official with tonight's Winter Solstice.
As the view thru the clouds seems futile and in vain,
As I search for a star near the Lunar Eclipse.

I'll have to close my eyes to the rain and be aware,
That on the dry side of this cloud, there is a star I can't miss.
A distant sun I can connect with somewhere,
And forever remember my loving Aunt Pris.

We lost a great Mom, and a wonderful lady, last Thursday. Priscilla was at peace and ready to meet Jesus, when she passed. Tahnks to all of the kind people who took care of Mom over the last few years, as her health declined. Advantage Health in Milwaukee, and Carmel Health and Living here in Indianapolis. Sincerely Craig Horter
