Remember Me Poem

Remember me with smiles not tears,
For all the joy through all the years.
Recall the closeness that was ours,
A love as "sweet" as fragrant flowers.

Don't dwell on thoughts that cause you pain,
We'll see each other once again.
I am at peace... try to believe,
It was my time.. I had to leave.

But "what a view" I have from here,
I see your face, I feel you near.
I follow you throughout the day,
You're not alone along the way.

Loved the pics. I always adored this family even though we didn't get together all that much. Alice always came across to me as a gentle, loving soul. I especially appreciated that Uncle Mike would occasionally sneak me into concerts at the Varsity Arena & Stadium. Rest in peace Alice and hopefully we can cross paths again in your new heavenly world.
