For my aunt who departed this life on November 17, 2009.

Quiet into the night, you left without a whisper.

Never knew you were leaving me until you were gone.

Leaving me with a heavy heart and a well full of tears.

When I said goodnight, I love you, didn’t know it was

the last words we would ever speak.

You always told me, if you need me, call me.

I do need you, but God must have needed you more,

he called you home for a much deserved needed rest.

Sleep on my beloved sugar, sleep on and take your

rest, for no one deserves it more.
