“She saw the world childlike, wrapping arms around it in amazement and joy. ”

Her spirit irrepressible,

Uncontainable,

Expansive, magnetic.

Moving continuously

And effortlessly,

Lifted and floating,

Discovering and sharing.

Love flowed from her heart

To family, friends,

Work, community.

Creating images of beauty,

Lasting connections, from

Heart to heart to heart.

She saw the world childlike,

Wrapping arms around

It in amazement and joy.

Her fierceness,

Just beneath the surface.

In life and in illness,

She held on to us

For as long as she could.

Until the light that

Shone from her,

Went ahead and called her home.

We will find her everywhere now,

All at once,

Irrepressible, uncontainable,

Expansive.
