Death , you are
no
stranger to us.
Yet , today you
came, uninvited
and
brought no
grace
or mercy.
You
tore
the hearts
and lives
of those who give
of those who give
grace
and mercy
every
day
to
those who
cannot
stand
up to you alone.
Hear
this, O death,
you
cannot conquer
those
whose lives
are
already filled
with
Grace
and
Mercy.
For,
while you may exist,
you
are but a moment,
a
breath, a step…
a
means to a glorious
everlasting
life.
Her Life
lives on in our hearts
and in the earthly lives
who
will begin anew
because
of
her
heart
her eyes
her
lungs
and
life giving spirit
filled
with
Grace
and Mercy.

day. Her legacy of a kind and gentle
spirit will be remembered and loved by all of us.
Oh if the recipients could read this tribute.
