For Lettie

After a four year fight, she is at peace. Cancer sucks.

You were a warrior,

light and grace,

with a heart of gold

and a smile that could lift the saddest heart.


Farewell, 

we'll treasure

the moments we shared.

Shed tears, tell stories,

sing songs, and move on,

because that is what you would want us to do.


Warrior, 

light, and grace

with a heart of gold

and a smile that could lift the saddest heart.


Five foot two, flapper style.

Pole dancing in the library.

Scooter queen.

Parrot mom.

Lifting a glass.

And, oh that laugh.


Warrior, 

light, and grace

with a heart of gold

and a smile that could lift the saddest heart.
