The following poem is written by Marion Flores. Dedicated to Kasey Baley and Deborah Cornell, I miss you both.

Lost Forever I Fear

A daughter, a sister, a wife, a friend so dear, lost forever I fear.
Grieving parents who ever lovingly did rear.
A loss, a loss they will forever know,
Broken hearts now forever will show.
For in your pain you are not alone.
Left now with only memories to recall.
Stop missing you we will never.

Her face so tender, in our hearts we will always remember.
But for now, to the grief we must surrender.
A loss, a loss we will forever know, broken hearts now forever will show.
And your Mother and Father, oh how they will miss
Never again giving you a hug and kiss.

Sympathies, services, hugs and tears, are all that’s left to complete her precious years.
An ending not fit for a daughter, a sister, a wife, a friend so dear.
Grieving, we must then be left only with tears.
A loss, a loss we will forever know, broken hearts now forever will show.
But, moving on and learning to trust, forever in their maker they must.
The pain for now, make it through, if you can just.
I will pray to my maker, for peace from your Savior.
