POEM
“You were wonderful
A beacon of light
Spreading your love Throughout your fight Nothing more important than being a true Servant
This you’ve achieved
and it's why we’re all hurting. Your love will never leave us
Jehovah’s promise stands true
We can’t wait to the paradise when we’re running straight to you.”
We love you mom
Sophia, Lolita, Sabrina and Brandon
