She stands engraved in memory as a flame.
Her friendly spirit soaring on a hilltop high.
Immensely shining bright, aloft a mountain top.
Kindling with her brethren in celestial realms.
Hovering now as a guardian angel of us all.
Above the stratosphere, in residence with her kinsfolk.
Discerning what our hearts and souls reveal.
A twinkle in her gentle eyes tells us it’s all right.
Let tears not hinder then what the heart expresses.
A love for one who brightened many lives.
Let love forever glorify that shining flame aloft the mountain peak.
