The sound of her name is like a song
Powerful, but tapering to softness
Loveliest of all; always reaching out
Appears shy and quiet
Insightful in ways unexpected
Could make you laugh at yourself
Precious and beautiful
Humble, loving and caring
If offended she forgave;
Was there for you
Her eyes bewildering
One look makes you think and
Ask yourself if you are doing things right
An unforgettable smile;
One is tamed at first glance
Her amazing personality reflects
The goodness of her soul
You look and know her mind is
Full of good thoughts, often complex
Devoted, deep and ever exploring
Polite, always asking, so as not to offend
Inquisitive and inviting; always imagining
Begins tasks and continues to the end
Stunning, inside and out; always prepared
A sister to the many lucky enough to know her
Knew, so well, the miracle of life and
That life is a precious gift
Which has to be given back
Her angels came and took her soul
Leaving us empty and feeling lonely
We are less without her
Our heart aches when we hear the bells toll
They peal out her favorite words:
UMCOR, UMCOR, UMCOR
We stop and listen and make our resolve
