Auntie Warrior Part 2: The After Math.

You've now left us physically,
But you will forever be with us mentally;
As well as through mind,body, and soul spiritually.
As we lay you to rest
And send you on your way to the higher heavens
We are all so blessed to have known one of God's best.
On this beautiful day we are gathered
Gathered here together to celebrate you and the wonderful life you lived.
Like an angel from above
You welcomed us all into your world with open arms
Always there and waiting with nothing but love.
This is just another chapter in the book of life,
But for you its a new book from off the bookstore shelf.
A new book without pain and struggle, but instead renewed health.
This is not goodbye, although we can't help but cry.
With the thousand miles of compassion and love
It's never goodbye,but a see you later
'Cause I know we will meet again up above.

-On December 21,2009 my aunt made her transition into the next phase of life. This is the second part of the first poem I wrote for her. Today was her memorial and I know she was watching me from above when I was up there speaking for her. I love you Connie Bereny with all my heart...this and my graduation in June is for u! :]
