FOR KAREN...

Your life is extinguished
Your breath is now gone
And we are the ones left behind to mourn
The loss of a wife, a mother, a nan
The loss of a daughter, a sister, a friend
The loss of an auntie, a cousin, a sisterinlaw too
These are our losses now without you
But we will have memories of you smiling and laughing out loud
And wonderful memories of you entertaining a crowd
Memories of your kindness and caring ways
These are our memories that will always stay

Roniece-
And the memories are priceless.
This is a beautifully penned tribute.
Thanks for sharing it.
Hugs,

James: thank you - there is a great sadness in my heart - writing helps me though

Hold fast the memories, for they are precious. And with them, a part of her will always be with you
