Here is the poem that I wrote for my Aunt Nee Nee. I miss her still.
What an Amazing Woman
What an amazing woman we celebrate
You came on this earth with much to anticipate
You conquered every obstacle you faced
You inspired so many to continue the race
You are a sister, wife, mother, aunt, Gaga and friend
For your life we are thankful without end
You will be missed for many reasons
But Jesus said there is a time for every season
You were taken to heaven much sooner then we wanted
The memories you have left will grow like flowers that you planted
You are much more then my favorite aunt
You are my hero that inspired me to fight my giants
YOu and Our Lord are seated together in heaven
For you knew and believed Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven
Your smile, laughter, and humor will always be remembered
Your jokes and imagination to which I surrendered
Your precious life we are so grateful to have shared
There is no question that you are loved and adored
I pray the pain we are feeling would no longer ache
For the love you have shown us will shield us from hearbreak
And as we gather today to celebrate your life
Let us not face the holidays with strife
You are still here with us now and watching over us all
We will see you again when Our Father does call
We will miss you tremendously till then
Till we can hug you and kiss you again
Thank you for being an amazing woman
For all that you are and all that you've given
I love you Aunt Nee Nee
Now a guardian angel you will forever be
I miss you.
