This is for Emily. She was a member of our choir with an angelic voice and personality to match. After horrific circumstances a few days ago, she is no longer with us. Love to you always, Emily.

For Emily
 
 
She is an angel
She will always be
She has left us
It was not her choice
I am in denial of the horror
The beyond belief unexpected
 
I focus on Emily
Her enchanting voice
Her charming and vibrant persona
No matter her struggles
Her contagious smile
That engendered mine immediately
And others’ too of course
 
So long Emily
You sing with the angels now
 
Be comforted in their arms
You know that you are loved
Now as you always will be
 
We will sing for you
Until we meet again
Be ever Emily
And sing!

Regis a most loving tribute to a life ended far too young. The greatest honor we can be granted is to be recalled with love, often, when we are no more. May peace and love be always with you. Jon Michael

I'm so sorry for her loss of life, which shouldn't have been. Sometimes it seems not fair at all! At least she is pain-free now.

Bloody devastating. Life keeps hitting and hitting us hard. Such solid heart bonds are a rare beauty. My beautiful and top journalist niece died and faith, faith and love and thanks brings us to acceptance in this world of hurting mysteries.

Singing is so spiritual that I believe you and a special bond with her when your voices harmonized and you will no longer hear that harmony except in your dreams. A fine tribute to her life that only a poet can do.

Regis, I'm saddened to hear of your sudden loss.
The loss of a precious friend is hard to bear...your
poem-tribute for Emily, and the feeling of sadness
in it...makes us realize that there is s certain aloneness
that she left behind...but also a lot of true love that
surrounds you...right now.
Thank you for sharing your verse.

What tragedy, Regis! No wonder you are in denial, but even so you have managed to communicate both her radiance and your understandable great affection for her. I trust she is at rest and able to give voice to her indomitable spirit. These things are so difficult to come to terms with and you seem to have had more than your fair share of loss. My love and hugs to you, too. Kate xx
