MY COUSIN KAREN

So young to die
So young to leave
Without a goodbye
I'll mourn your loss
My grief will be long
But deep down I'll try to be strong
I'll miss your laughter
I'll miss your smiles
I'll miss not sitting with you awhile
But an angel you are now to be
So I will watch and listen and hope to see
Your beautiful face
Come back again to visit me

RIP Karen Radford - 15 June 2002

A very sweet tribute to your cousin.

Very sad, but very hopeful, too.

I am so sorry about your cousin, Roniece...
but you have written a lovely tribute to her.
Keep writing...its great therapy for grief.
I think I wrote the book on the subject

Such sadness you write of. My heart cries out for you my dear friend, take care!

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.  ~Arthur Miller
