Poem by Karla Bjorge-Carr

[Ann Marshik]

This poem was written by Karla for the Memorial Service on July 12th:

My Friends and Family
Do not cry for me as I am in a special place
Here in Heaven I am surrounded by love and
God's given grace.
I am in no pain and I am flying high,
Watching over all of you, please do not cry.
Take all of our memories and hold
Them dear to your heart, for our laughs,
And tears were the best part.
Now close your eyes and look to the sky,
I am an angel now, and I can fly.

[Christina (Smieja) Pennell]

That's beautiful, Karla. :)

Beautiful poem Karla - What a great way to honor such a wonderul friend who we all dearly love and miss. It was a blast dusting off my tennis racket in honor of Steph this past weekend! I also enjoyed seeing everyone there, including you, Ann, Cathy, Smil, Halstead, Deanna and so many others. I am sure the dedication was beautiful and I am sure Steph was watching from above.
