Heaven Bound Flight

Your presence was such a delight
You made us all feel welcome here,
Connie, your comments were sincere.

A bright, caring light on this site
I’m still in shock that you’re gone,
My friend, your poetry lives on.

With an Aurora of love and light,
Now, you are  pain-free, my friend;
Suffering here came to an end. 

You took a heaven-bound flight;
Being reunited with spouse,
On streets of gold in a new house.

Next to him is where stars shine bright,
Where  love just flows and flows always;
Illnesses gone , just sunny days.

Your presence was such a delight
A bright, caring light on this site,
With an Aurora of love and light;
You took a heaven-bound flight.

So lovely Alexis. Seeing all of the tributes shows how much Connie was loved and her influence. It also reminds me of a poem that says in essence don't put your compliments and love on my grave. Tell me of your love and friendship while I live so I may bask in the glow of love and friends. It seems to me that is an important part of commenting on PS. It certainly is something Connie did for each of us often. Thank you for this lovely poem Alexis. Blessings!
