At Peace

Asters white should grace your grave, Leticia! Tufted petals snowing a winter birthday toast Pretty stars to cover you where you sleep Everlasting peace, you and your gal unite Astral dreaming, the glitter turns to sepia Chastened light agleam as moon’s mystic Eternal glow that in dark brings the smile :) ************************************ 1/20/23 - Carver 325 at DBW; first boat of the year and such a name.. esp since it was the week between our birthdays exactly 7 days apart and at the only work spot I took her to a few years ago and the client owned the enchanted Forest restaurant where we celebrated her last birthday together last year)

Beautiful flowers! Lovely tribute. Nice yacht. 2-shoup motorboat, cracked its ribs on St Clair Shores, skiing, it only throttled 30 miles an hr. Found it underwater that next morning-- [Cass Lake, W Bloomfield, MI] It was towed with a telephone wire out of the water!
