SPIRIT OF JUDY B SAILS
Christmas Eve 2016
SPIRIT OF
JUDY B set sail today, left our port, rode the tide down to the sea
Judy was
asleep when it left...so as to awaken early, her new port to see.
We here on
shore caught a glance of SPIRIT as it entered the ocean deep
behind she
leaves a legacy of love and happiness each of us will keep.
Pure white
sails blossomed to capture the wind and carry Judy on her way
tomorrow
she’ll share her infectious smile with those waiting day after day.
We whose
lives she graced know already, the always-warm light we have lost
she was our
wife, mother, friend, our quiet leader...never once our boss.
Over her 79
years Judy enhanced each port in which she stopped
all who got
to know her knew, she always gave more than she got.
Judy used an
endless supply of talents but to her what, in life, mattered most
was love from
those she loved back; to her we raise our glasses, in a toast:
“Here’s to
you our Queen, for you have helped us become who today we are
we pledge to
love you forever and reunite, somewhere on your twinkling star.
“Soon you’ll
be singing and weaving again, creating sunsets for endless years
you’ll help
God, an artist too, with designs that sweep aside all our fears.”
Sons Eric
& Peter; grandkids Miles, Cole, Ella & their Mom, Caprice; Steve,
husband for
58 years...we’ll all carry on even though for now, we do grieve...
Ever so slowly,
your SPIRIT grows smaller...and soon it will pass from our sight,
we’ll know
you’re not gone but simply over there, and still with us day and night.
