Our Songbird
Its's the daily calls that we will miss, and the long conversations that would certainly fulfill anyone's day. The sparkle that sat behind your eyes when you would hear good news, and the perfect words you would find when someone was down, or needed reassurance and comfort. Your compassionate hugs always lingered just around the corner, and even complicated words or actions. Your compassionate heart that continued to beat, even past your own daily pain and struggles. A genuine smile that would light up any room, and a laugh that was contagiouis to set the tone for a good time.
A songbird, is what we hear when you effortlessly sang a song placed on your heart, that was sure to get a good hour or two of unplanned choir rehearsal. And oooh the classic sideways eyle roll followed with "umm hmmm" could not withstand a serious moment even when you tried, but you always could effectively explain your point with a quick reference to your favorite scripture.k
A giving spirit, that in return lifted your spirits and fulfilled your purpose. A kindred friendship you offered to just about anyone on your journey, destined to set life long connetions and abundance of memoires to hold. And although this time is hard to emotionally conquer, it's the memories and bonds that you created that will carry us through the tears, through the laughs, through the pain, through the sorrow. You will be greatly missed, but forever in our hearts!
