In Memory Of

Mrs. Patricia G. Hughes

 July 31, 1945   - February 16, 2008


Message of Hope 

 A whispered wish of remembrance 
Silent words of loss 
A song of good bye 
An unspoken prayer for lasting peace 

A message of hope 
Rejoice for the spirit that has passed. 
Release the sorrow and the sadness. 
Rebuild a life again.

Emerging from your cocoon so gently placed 
Sensing the freedom in the waiting sky 
Wings open and quickly a flight 
A drift in the air 
dancing with the wind 
Aglow in the sunlight. 

The message of hope 
Touching the spirit 
Teaching to begin anew 
Transforming the wish into hope 
on the radiant wing of a butterfly.
