Below is a poem from one of her life-long friends, which she wanted to share with everyone. Left So Suddenly Sunday morning, 11/08/2015, we were all awakened to the sad news That you were suddenly gone As we gather together in comfort from one another I here Annette say, I know I am suddenly gone Please don’t cry for me for I don’t want to see tears Only strong shoulders for those in need Be strong and find your smiles For you will see me again I know you miss me But just know, in heaven I will be Again I am sorry I left so suddenly Without a goodbye But I did not leave you completely I am in a better place Please my family and friends Do not keep your sad faces Do not let your tears fall I know I left you suddenly But I am begging you be strong I left before we were ready to see me go Do me a favor, live every moment of life As if it were your last Please do not forget the memories we made Cherish life and love those near and far as I watch you from above I am sorry I left so suddenly I may not be there in person But my Father in Heaven Thought it was time I come home to get my wings So I am now your personal angel from up above I left so suddenly but please do not say good bye As I spread my wings and fly Remember I was made your guardian angel As you plan my resting place Please do not cry for me today For I’m ok here in the land of no pain Soaring through the sky With the clearest lungs I could ever want So even though I left so suddenly I will see you all again Forever I send my love to you all Sleep with my kisses upon your cheeks And always know I am not gone I’m in heaven waiting for you all to come home to me… With love, LaDena Wilson, 11/2015
