Dear sister Dar-Lewis;
The peace you seek has come at last.
Now you’ll sleep without machines no more, your body is reborn.
You were a gem to many; they would even say amen.
The road you traveled was long and alone.
But you always made friends, many have come and gone so long ago.
I’ll always remember our adventures growing up
Somewhere good and some should not have been
Long nights talking and drinking coffee
Then a nap to start again.
You wanted good for all you knew
Even when they didn’t understand you.
I loved you and sometimes I even like you,
you must admit you were a challenge to
all that knew you, because they will not forget you.
Your baby girl, Olivia, born many years ago she couldn’t stay, she had to go,
Now you will be together at last, neither of you will be no longer alone.
No more lonely days or nights cry no more my sister Dar.
For your God has taken you home to rest in peace with Mom, Dad and Olivia.
Your lord called you home to be with them for evermore.
Love you Darlene until we meet again, have the coffee on.
From your little sister with long ankles, Denise
